Since October 26, multiple Indian users on X have been sharing a notification purportedly from the Balochistan Home Department that claimed Bollywood actor Salman Khan\u2019s name had been added to the Fourth Schedule under Pakistan\u2019s Anti-Terrorism Act. The Fourth Schedule lists individuals suspected of terrorism or sectarian activity. Being added to it is a serious designation, but the claims were quickly called into question.<\/p>\n

The posts began circulating after an Indian user shared the alleged notification, suggesting the move was politically motivated following Salman Khan\u2019s comments in Riyadh where he mentioned Balochistan separately from Pakistan. The post gained tens of thousands of views, and similar shares quickly followed, including coverage by Pakistani digital platform Urdu Leaks and some Indian media outlets.<\/p>\n

iVerify Pakistan investigated <\/a>the claims and found multiple red flags. A keyword search found no coverage of such a development by any credible local or international news outlet.<\/p>\n

Examination of the notification revealed obvious errors, including misspellings like \u201ccommittes\u201d instead of committees, \u201caffilisted\u201d instead of affiliated, and \u201cpersses\u201d instead of persons. The notification\u2019s dates also did not align with the actor\u2019s Riyadh event, as the document claimed the recommendation to add Salman was made on October 7, whereas he made his comments on October 16\u201317.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A review of the event showed Salman Khan attended from October 16 to 17 and said: \u201cRight now, if you make a Hindi film and release it here [in Saudi Arabia], it will be a super hit. If you make a Tamil, Telugu or Malayali film, it will do hundreds of crores in business because so many people from other countries have come here. There are people from Balochistan, there are people from Afghanistan, there are people from Pakistan\u2026everyone is working here.\u201d No prior recent instance was found of him mentioning Balochistan separately from Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Officials from the Balochistan Home Department and the information ministry also confirmed that the notification was entirely fabricated and that no such listing had been issued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since October 26, multiple Indian users on X have been sharing a notification purportedly from the Balochistan Home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[68578,68579,458,146,12158,85,46,68577,625],"class_list":["post-104560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-anti-terrorism-act","tag-balochistan-home-department","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-fake-news","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-pakistan-fourth-schedule","tag-salman-khan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
