IAF’s ‘one frame’ response: President Murmu & Shivangi Singh debunk Pakistan’s capture claim
The Statesman Delhi
|October 30, 2025
The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” was proven right when the Indian Air Force, with a single photograph, delivered a statement stronger than any word-President Droupadi Murmu standing beside Squadron Leader Shivangi Singh in Ambala.
The lone picture shattered Islamabad’s fabricated claims of the pilot’s capture during Operation Sindoor.
The picture was taken moments after Murmu took a sortie in a Rafale aircraft at Air Force Station, Ambala (Haryana) today. The officer, who recently made history by becoming the first Indian woman fighter pilot to receive the prestigious Qualified Flying Instructor (QFI) badge, assisted the President during the pre-and post-flight operations.
