What is the truth?<\/h2>\n

As the viral videos were of poor quality, the faces of the soldiers could not be made out. Alt News looked up YouTube videos with the keywords –\u00a0“Pakistan soldiers <\/em>paf dancing”<\/em> –<\/em>\u00a0and stumbled upon a video posted on February 23, 2019, days before the wing commander was captured.<\/p>\n

The video uploaded by\u00a0Zee Creations\u00a0<\/em>was described as,\u00a0“Amazing moments of Pakistan Air Force airbase officer celebrate victory moments with staff on Chita Chola Song. #chitachola #dance #army . chita chola se dey darzi,chita chola see darzi full song,chita chola mujra.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As this video was of much better quality, the soldiers’ faces could be clearly identified. None of the officers resembled Indian air force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman.<\/p>\n

Since the announcement of wing commander Abhinandan’s release, misinformation on social media has been circulating at his expense. Alt News had earlier debunked false claims about his mother<\/a> and wife<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
