On December 4, a special unit of the army mistakenly opened fire at a pick-up van carrying coal miners from the Tiru area to their village in Nagaland\u2019s Mon district around 5 pm. The Hindu<\/a> reported at least 15 civilians and one soldier were killed. Two days<\/a> later, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) took suo-motu cognizance of the incident.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, a former defence officer and life coach A K Naithani tweeted<\/a> a video that shows two civilians with knives threatening men in the armed forces. In the video, we see the troops firing shots on the ground.<\/p>\n

How does one react to such provocation ? Notice the restraint shown by the armed soldiers …… *NOT TRIGGER HAPPY !* …._may draw your own conclusion._ pic.twitter.com\/zrYM2L6LI2<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 A K Naithani (@Anju1304) December 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When a user asked if the video is from Nagaland, Naithani responded saying, “I have no reason to believe it not being so.”<\/p>\n

\n

I have no reason to believe it not being so. The pity is that we have no hesitation in doubting the integrity of our forces<\/p>\n

\u2014 A K Naithani (@Anju1304) December 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Twitter user MJ Augustine Vinod, whose bio reads ‘Group Captain (retd)’, tweeted<\/a> Naithani’s video and blamed civilians for provoking the army in Nagaland to shoot for self-defence. Twitter user Capt Alok Tyagi<\/a> shared the video with a similar claim.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

REMEMBER INDIA

BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar liked Vinod’s tweet.<\/p>\n

The video was also tweeted by BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay albeit without any direct claim.<\/p>\n

Alt News has received several requests to fact-check the video on our WhatsApp helpline number (+91 76000 11160). The accompanying message is attributed to an army officer “explaining” the civilian deaths in Nagaland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Old video from Colombia<\/h4>\n

Alt News performed a reverse image search of the video\u2019s keyframes and found that it was aired in 2018 by Columbia-based news outlet Noticias Caracol TV<\/a>. As per the report, the incident happened in Hacienda Miraflores in rural Corinto. The area falls under the jurisdiction of the Cauca Department of Colombia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Colombia-based media outlets Movimiento MAIS and Pulzo<\/a> also reported on the incident. MAIS had uploaded the viral video in 2018 and stated that the incident took place in Corinto.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2014 Movimiento MAIS (@MovimientoMAIS) January 5, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On January 5, 2018, former president of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos condemned the incident.<\/p>\n

\n

Ning\u00fan colombiano debe agredir o irrespetar a nuestros soldados que s\u00f3lo cumplen con el deber de proteger a los ciudadanos y sus derechos. La justicia debe operar contra los agresores.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Juan Manuel Santos (@JuanManSantos) January 5, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, an old video from Colombia was shared to justify the death of 15 civilians killed by the Indian army in Nagaland.<\/p>\n

[Update: An earlier version of this report said that the incident took place in Nicaragua. The incident is from Colombia and the same has been rectified.]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
