“News of 7 Pakistani Army soldiers being killed by Baloch freedom fighters of Jaish-al-Adl is trickling in. My Baloch friends say that they will keep attacking Pak Army till they achieve Independence from Pakistan. @OfficialDGISPR kindly confirm news of Pak soldiers KIA<\/em>“, was the text of a tweet<\/a> by Major Gaurav Arya, a retired Indian army personnel and host of the show “Patriot” on Republic TV<\/em>. Along with the text, Arya posted three pictures. Arya has now deleted the tweet<\/a>, a screenshot of which can be seen below.<\/p>\n

The same images with a similar narrative were also tweeted by a verified Twitter user Gaurav Goel who claims to be the state president of BJYM Chandigarh.<\/p>\n

Old pictures from 2006 & 2010<\/h2>\n

1. The picture of the dead bodies laid down on the ground is from 2006. According to a report in Outlook<\/em><\/a>, forty-five Pakistani army recruits undergoing training at a Punjab Regimental Centre training school at Dargai, 100 kms north of Peshawar in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, were killed and many others were injured early on the morning of November 8, 2006, when a suspected suicide bomber ran towards them and blew himself up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. The picture of the coffins with army personnel around them is from 2010. According to a report in TIME<\/a><\/em>, the picture is of Pakistani paramilitary soldiers saluting the caskets of soldiers who were killed in a suicide car bombing during a funeral at their base camp in Bannu, Pakistan, on Jan. 2, 2010.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. The picture of the armed militants sitting next to a car is a cropped picture. The full photograph can be seen below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Alt News couldn’t find the exact origin of this picture, it has been circulating atleast since October 2018 as can be seen from a Google reverse image search snapshot below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moreover, the logo on the top right corner is a symbol of Jaish ul-Adl<\/a>, a terrorist organisation based in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Alt News had documented<\/a> multiple instances of misleading images and videos shared by Arya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
