The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued a formal denial regarding rumors circulating on social media and various platforms suggesting that world leaders experienced health issues during or after the recent BRICS summit. The ministry categorized these reports as a "fake alert," emphasizing that there is no factual basis to the claims of illness among the high-profile attendees.

While the reports of illness gained traction in some online spaces, the MEA’s statement serves as a direct rebuttal to the speculation. The ministry did not provide further details on the origin of the rumors, but their statement was intended to clarify the situation and quell concerns regarding the health and safety of the international delegates who participated in the summit. As of now, no official reports from other participating nations have corroborated the rumors of health complications, and the Indian government maintains that the summit concluded without such incidents.
