Initially, anti-government and news agencies in western Balochistan denied that Ghulam Sheh Bakhsh had been killed in the attack. Misleading news was spread on social media for hours during and after the clash. In which it was claimed that various armed groups and even the armed people of 'Mujahedeen-e-Khalq' went to help Ghulam Sheh Bakhsh. Later it was also claimed that Ghulam Shah Bakhsh managed to break the siege of Sipah and get out and are still fighting with the Sipah in the area called Jungle

Eventually, the sources also admitted that Ghulam Shah Bakhsh had been killed in the Sipah attack. The deceased have been identified as Hamid Hassan Zahi son of Abdul Hassan Zahi and Mohammad Shah Bakhsh son of Jalal Sheh Bakhsh.

The main target of the Sipah attack was Ghulam Shah Bakhsh, the son of Mehrab Shah Bakhsh. Mehrab Sheh Bakhsh was also killed a few days ago on December 29, 2021, in a drone strike at Samsor. His vehicle was reportedly hit by a drone

The Sipah statement described the armed men as "fighters" while Baloch circles opposed to the Iranian regime were trying to portray them as insurgents. However, their statements and contents did not specify which organization or under the program, Iranian forces were waging an armed war against the regime, while the proliferation of 'false news' on social media has made it difficult to believe any of these claims.
