While India and Pakistan are almost on the brink of war, the Pakistani Secret Service, ISI, has started its information warfare against India, but on a cheaper level. Fearing India's all-out attack and no support from the international community, Pakistan is now trying to turn Indian citizens against the Modi Government by releasing fake and misleading videos. One of the fake videos that went viral on social media showcased a so-called Indian Army soldier, Ashok Kumar, accusing New Delhi of carrying out a false flag operation in Pahalgam. In short, Indian Army officer Ashok Kumar accused New Delhi of killing the innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir.

Truth behind Soldier Ashok Kumar's Viral Video

After the so-called Indian Army Officer Ashok Kumar's video went viral on social media, True Scoop tried to dig deeper and it found that the viral clip is actually made by a Pakistani man. In short, a Pakistani man dressed as an Indian Army Soldier made a video of a false flag operation in Pahalgam so that ISI's propaganda can be pushed among Indians. The cheap tactics by the Pakistanis and ISI surely showcase that the 'rogue nation' is terrified Indians seem united against them. 

The man calling himself an Indian Army Jawan has been caught red-handed by the uniform he was wearing.  The viral clip shows the classic PC-DPM (Personal Clothing – Disruptive Pattern Material) camouflage introduced by the Indian Army in 2006. Characterized by broad, irregular horizontal swathes of black, brown, and green on a khaki-green base, this “brushstroke” pattern has been fully phased out for frontline troops and replaced from 15 January 2022 by a pixelated digital-disruptive design developed in collaboration with India’s National Institute of Fashion Technology. The new uniform features angular pockets, QR/bar-coding, a lighter, more breathable fabric, and a two‐piece combat jacket and T-shirt system—details entirely absent in the old PC-DPM.

Social media user Anshul Saxena also shared a video and exposed that the man in the video is Kanji Malik, who lives in Karachi, Pakistan. Malik lives in PIB Colony, and he is actively involved in pushing Pakistani propaganda on social media. His CV has references from the Brigadier of the Pakistan Army and the Rangers of the  Pakistan Army.
