Fake News Alert: Viral Video Falsely Links Couple to Pahalgam Attack
Srinagar, April 24: A shocking case of misinformation has emerged in the aftermath of the tragic Pahalgam attack. A video circulating on social media falsely claims that a Navy officer and his wife were killed while dancing in the meadows. However, the couple in the video has now spoken out, confirming that they are alive and denouncing the claims as completely false.
The woman featured in the video, visibly upset, has appealed to the public to stop spreading the fake news.
"We are alive. My husband is not a Navy officer, and we were not at the site of the Pahalgam attack," she clarified in a video message.
Expressing her distress over the viral misinformation, she questioned how the fabricated story made its way into media reports.
"I don't know how the Indian press works and where they got this video. I am shattered and urge everyone to report this video with a fake claim," she added.
The video, which shows the couple enjoying a peaceful moment in a scenic location, was falsely linked to the recent militant attack in Baisaran, Pahalgam. The misleading claim triggered an outpouring of emotional reactions online, adding to the grief and confusion surrounding the real tragedy.
This incident highlights the dangers of fake news and the importance of verifying information before sharing it. Social media users are urged to be cautious and report misleading content to prevent further harm.
