A 54-second video of journalist Palki Sharma is being widely shared on social media with the claim that she is reporting about an Indian man being detained in Bahrain for allegedly working in Israel\u2019s favour. The clip is circulating amid the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n

In the video, Sharma says that incidents like these erode the trust Gulf countries place in India and make it harder for Indians to work in the region. She also claims that India tracked the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Dena and shared intelligence with Israel, after which the ship was allegedly torpedoed by a United States submarine.<\/p>\n

Several other users posted the viral clip while claiming that Sharma had reported on an Indian man’s detention in Bahrain and how India’s stance in the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war could affect Indians who traveled to these gulf countries for work.<\/p>\n
