My first comment on this issue.. have we explicitly referred to this incident as a "conspiracy theory"? Because that's what it is by definition. Call them out on their own BS.
I have said it again and again, bharatis are among the top conspiracy theorists I've seen. They will make conspiracy theories that suit their national narrative, and then complain about others making conspiracy theories.
This is at the bharati state level no less - it's not some internet keyboard warriors of bharati origin doing this. It's what makes this that much more hilarious.
