However, there has been no official confirmation from Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Punjab Kings, or the IPL regarding the authenticity of the claims. At present, the allegations remain completely unverified, and no evidence has been independently confirmed.
The controversy has nevertheless generated significant online attention, with many users urging caution against spreading unverified accusations on social media. Others pointed out that edited YouTube videos are common for multiple reasons and may not necessarily indicate wrongdoing. Until any official clarification emerges, the viral posts remain speculative, and the authenticity of the alleged vaping incident cannot be conclusively established.
