Captured Pilot Abhinandan Dancing with Pakistan Army
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review examined a viral video presented as showing captured IAF pilot Abhinandan dancing with the Pakistan Army. It reports that a reverse search of frames from the video found an upload of the same video on YouTube dated 23 February 2019, before Abhinandan’s capture by Pakistani forces. That earlier upload contradicts the claim that the footage shows him after his capture.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY examined a video shared on Facebook with the description “Heavy shelling along LOC.” The review says it was being circulated amid the then-current India–Pakistan tensions, with the claim that it showed shelling happening at that time along the Line of Control. Its investigation traced the footage to an earlier YouTube upload, rather than to the contemporary conflict.
