Indian Army Fact Check tweets, "A digitally altered video is being circulated with fabricated remarks attributed to Lt Gen Girish Kalia, claiming that China has taken control of Asaphila, Longjou and Taksing Circle in Arunachal Pradesh and that the Indian Army has been denied essential supplies. The misleading video attempts to portray fabricated statements as a leaked admission by a senior Indian Army officer. The video uses Synthetic Generated Information to falsely attribute remarks to Lt Gen Girish Kalia. The original footage relates to a press briefing delivered by then GOC 28 Infantry Division, Maj Gen Girish Kalia, in Kupwara, Jammu & Kashmir, on 27 October 2023. He addressed infiltration attempts across the Line of Control, reporting 10 foiled attempts, the elimination of 27 terrorists and the recovery of warlike stores and narcotics. He made no such statements about Chinese control over Arunachal Pradesh or denial of supplies to the Indian Army..."

🚨 Verify the Viral
❌ Several social media accounts are circulating an unverified video with the claim, “Many Chinese soldiers beaten and captured by Indian Army at LAC during ongoing standoff”.
✅ The footage is unauthenticated and is being falsely projected as a recent confrontation, leading to rumours and confusion about the ground situation at the LAC.
✅ In the past too, old mobile-phone clips have been circulated on social media as fresh incidents to create a misleading impression of the situation at the LAC.
📍Citizens are advised not to share unverified videos and to rely only on official sources for updates.
