On August 28, India <\/span>defeated Pakistan by five wickets<\/span><\/a> in the 2022 Asia Cup. Against this backdrop, media channels aired a video of a group of young men destroying a TV set on the street, connecting it to this recent match. Media outlets claimed that the video featured Pakistani fans\u2019 reaction after the team lost to India in the Asia Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABP News aired the visuals during its ‘Bharat Ki Baat’ program on August 29, 2022, at 7:30 PM. Describing it as a recent incident, the channel claimed that fans were smashing a television set over Pakistan\u2019s loss against India in the 2022 Asia Cup.

Several other users<\/span><\/a> also amplified the video as recent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/b><\/h4>\n

Due to the poor quality of the video, we suspected that it was likely very old. Alt News performed a <\/span>keyword search<\/span><\/a> on YouTube to find out whether the video was authentic. We came across the full clip uploaded on YouTube<\/a><\/span> on June 6, 2019. This makes it evident that this incident could not have occurred after the recent match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the video features a sound byte from one of the Pakistani fans who smashed the TV. He states, \u201cThey didn\u2019t play well against Afghanistan either. We kept losing to India till today, and now to a weak team like Bangladesh. We are deeply sorry for this.\u201d In other words, it is evident that this is a video of Pakistani cricket fans breaking TVs in anger after their team\u2019s loss to Bangladesh, and not India.<\/span><\/p>\n
