A set of images doing rounds on social media is being shared with claims that it depicts the impact of Indian Air Force’s airstrike in Pakistan.

(This proof of Balakot attack is for the\u00a0ha**** ministers so that you traitors hit your faces with slippers and keep your mouths shut instead of making fun of our forces.),”\u00a0<\/em>is the commonly used caption accompanying the photographs. Another caption that is being used to share the images is – “\u092f\u0939 \u0939\u0948 \u0938\u092c\u0942\u0924 \u0905\u091a\u094d\u091b\u0940 \u0924\u0930\u0939 \u0938\u0947 \u091a\u0936\u092e\u093e \u0932\u0917\u093e \u0915\u0930 \u0926\u0947\u0916 \u0932\u093f\u091c\u093f\u092f\u0947\u0917\u093e \u091c\u0940<\/span>\u0964 (This is the proof.

Image 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An image<\/a> in the set of photographs shows shrouded dead bodies placed in what looks like a tunnel dug for mass graves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We found the original photograph on\u00a0Getty Images<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which described the pictures as,\u00a0“Pakistani Edhi charity volunteers bury the bodies of unclaimed heatwave victims at a graveyard in Karachi on June 26, 2015. Pakistani welfare volunteers on June 26 held a mass funeral for 50 victims of Karachi’s worst heatwave in decades, whose bodies had gone unclaimed.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image 2<\/h2>\n

Another viral image<\/a> shows a room where a man is covering several dead bodies covered with white cloth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reverse-searching this photograph on Google led us to the original photo on\u00a0Getty Images<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>This photograph also depicted the 2015 heatwave in Pakistan which caused hundreds of deaths. The dead bodies in the photograph were the unclaimed ones and the man was putting identification papers on their shrouds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image 3 and 4<\/h2>\n

Two other similar images<\/a> of shrouded bodies are being shared on social media, claiming that these are the Pakistani casualties of the Balakot airstrike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These images are also of the 2015 heatwave in Pakistan. While the image on the left was found on TIME<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>magazine,\u00a0the one on the right was traced back to\u00a0Getty Images<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image 5<\/h2>\n

The last photograph\u00a0shows\u00a0people burying the dead in mass graves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This image has already been debunked by Alt News<\/a>. While we were unable to trace its origin, we found that it has existed on the internet since at least 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Google reverse-image search also threw up a 2013\u00a0New York Times<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>article carrying a similar image. The photograph was sourced to\u00a0Associated Press<\/em><\/a>, which described it as,\u00a0\u201cPakistani men prepare the graves of Saturday\u2019s bombing victims in Quetta, Pakistan, Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>This photograph seemed to be of the same location as the viral image but taken from a different angle.<\/p>\n

Misinformation on social media related to the Balakot airstrike has increased manifold, especially after reports<\/a> of no casualties\u00a0in the attack. In the past, we have debunked 2005 Kashmir earthquake<\/a> images being circulated as the devastation caused by the Indian Air Force’s airstrike on JeM camps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
