A false news report spread rapidly on social media, claiming that Justice Ejaz ul Ahsan, a retired judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, had passed away. The report, aired on a prominent Pakistani news channel, stated that his funeral prayers would be held at 11 am at the H-11 graveyard. However, it soon emerged that the report was incorrect, and Justice Ejaz ul Ahsan was actually alive and well in Lahore with his family.
The confusion arose due to a mix-up with another individual, Justice Ejaz ul Hassan, who had also served as a judge at the Supreme Court of Pakistan from 2007 to 2009. The false report led to widespread speculation and discussion on social media, with some users sharing images of Justice Ejaz ul Ahsan with condolences.
Once the mistake was realized, images of Justice (R) Ejaz ul Hassan surfaced, clarifying the truth and debunking the false report.
