Fact-checkers have traced the footage shared by the handle “ARMAN KHAN PTI” (@armankhan661), which drew about 4.8 lakh views with the false claim that a RAW agent had been killed in “Indian Punjab”, to a gang-related murder in the national capital. A Times Now report dated October 13, 2026, says a history-sheeter named Monish, who reportedly had 10 criminal cases against him, was shot dead in broad daylight in Vikas Nagar, Ranhola, in west Delhi, on Sunday, October 11. Four assailants who arrived on two motorcycles fired multiple rounds at him while he was on his bike, and the attack was captured on CCTV. The killing has been linked to a rival gang. The incident did not happen in Punjab, and the victim had no connection to RAW or any intelligence agency. Turning local crime footage into stories of Indian spies being eliminated is a recurring propaganda tactic, so such claims should be checked against credible news reports before being shared.
