Modi hai toh mumkin hua. ENGLISH TRANSLATION: In 2012, China shot down an Indian weather satellite. As soon as India became a space superpower, China is now appealing for peace.

Over 130 users commented on the post, in which everyone hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The page is being followed by 6.14 lakh people. AFWA searched the internet with keywords and found that China did shoot down a weather satellite but it was not Indian and it was not in 2012. In fact, China had shot down its own defunct weather satellite called Fengyun-1C. This was done in 2007 when China was testing its anti-satellite missile.

We also searched for official reactions from India and found nothing to conclude that an Indian satellite was shot down.
