INDIA vs PAK: Wikipedia page tampering with Pakistani link
Arshdeep Singh’s Wikipedia page was altered after India’s defeat. He was accused of being affiliated with a separatist party. That was pushing for the creation of “Khalistan.” Furthermore, the Wikipedia page articles stated that the bowler was selected to play for the “Khalistani national cricket squad.”
According to an India Today article, a Pakistani link was discovered in Arshdeep Singh’s Wikipedia page altering incident.
India Today reported that the IP address that was used to change the Wikipedia entry for Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh. Also removed references to the Pakistani military and Parvez Musharaf.
