New Delhi (Visvas News). A video has gone viral on social media following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. It shows a man wearing Indian Army fatigues alleging the attack was “pre-planned” insider job, rather than an act of terror. The claim identifies him as “Indian Army soldier Ashok Kumar.”

A similar video falsely claiming an Indian Army officer, Colonel Vijay Acharya, resigned following the deaths of 25 soldiers was previously circulated on social media.

The investigation uncovered a fake claim originating from a proxy account that used the photograph of a retired army officer.
