Amid the ongoing tensions between the neighboring countries India and Pakistan, a flood of misinformation is making rounds on the internet, misleading the people.
One among such social media posts includes a video with a claim that the Pakistan Army destroyed an Indian army post with more than 50 personnel along the Line of Control (LoC).
However, the Press Information Bureau's fact check unit dismissed the claims and termed the video as 'staged.'
"🚨 Staged Video Alert 🚨 Fake video is being circulated by Pakistani handles alleging that an Indian Post was destroyed by the #Pakistani Army 🔍," the fact check team said.
"The claim is completely false, and the video is staged. There is no unit called “20 Raj Battalion" in the #IndianArmy," it clarified.
The PIB's fact check team alleged that this is part of a coordinated propaganda campaign aimed at creating panic and misleading the public.
