Social media has given every human in the world complete freedom to share their thoughts on each and every occurrence across the globe within seconds. While this has created more transparency among people, it has also given birth to unverified claims, false information and a lot of negativity against one another. Something similar happened with the Instagram influencer, Sharmishta Panoli.
Sharmishta Panoli was arrested for her comment on ‘Operation Sindoor’
It was on May 7, 2025, when the Indian Armed Forces executed a precision attack, ‘Operation Sindoor’, in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The attack was a response to the Pahalgam attack that took the lives of 26 innocent tourists earlier in April 2025. However, Sharmishta Panoli made a controversial statement about Bollywood’s silence on the precision attack, which further led to her arrest.
