Claim:
A social media post dated 13 November 2025 alleges that “Afeera Bibi, a Pakistani national, is the wife of Muhammad Umar, the alleged suicide attacker in the Delhi blast case.” The claim is accompanied by an image of a Pakistani national identity card (NIC).
Fact:
The same NIC image has been used repeatedly in unrelated Indian social-media claims since at least August 2020. An archived post from that year used the exact same card—same name, number, photo, and dates—to allege that “Afeera Bibi, wife of Muhammad Umar (Farooq),” was linked to the Pulwama attack.
No credible Pakistani or international record corroborates the existence of any such individual connected to either Pulwama (2019) or the supposed Delhi blast (2025). The image circulating is a fabricated or digitally altered ID card that has been repurposed for disinformation.
Verification:
The fonts, layout, and hologram placement on the card differ from authentic CNICs issued by NADRA, Pakistan’s identity authority.
A reverse-image search confirms that the same photo and card first appeared on social media in early 2020, linked to Pulwama-related propaganda.
No Pakistani or Indian investigative agency has ever listed any “Afeera Bibi” or “Muhammad Umar” of this description among confirmed suspects.
The latest post merely replaces Pulwama with Delhi blast while keeping the identical visuals and metadata.
Fact Established
The viral posts are false. The ID card image is recycled and fabricated, and there is no verified link between any Pakistani citizen named Afeera Bibi and the alleged Delhi blast or any other attack.
This is another case of disinformation intended to frame Pakistan through re-use of manipulated visual content.
