Claim
This month, a Sikh couple was shot dead in Pakistan.
“इसी महीने वहां एक सिख दंपत्ति की गोली मारकर हत्या कर दी गई।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — a Sikh couple was shot dead in Pakistan — is verified (elderly caretaker couple killed inside a gurdwara in Mardan, KP). The event occurred June 18, 2026, roughly two weeks before the July 3 broadcast; the anchor's 'this month' is a slight temporal imprecision (it was the prior month) that does not distort the substance.
