Indian soldiers and Chinese PLA personnel were involved in a fierce face-off in Nakula area of North Sikkim on May 9 in which seven Chinese and four Indian soldiers reportedly<\/a> got injured. According to a recent report by Hindustan Times<\/a>, India and China have deployed additional troops as tensions continue to simmer in Ladakh and Sikkim sectors of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).<\/p>\n

After the incident, a video started circulating on social media. Journalist Baba Umar tweeted<\/a> it with the claim that it shows Chinese and Indian soldiers talking after possibly stone-pelting each other. The tweet has amassed over 2,500 retweets so far.<\/p>\n

Sweden-based academician Ashok Swain quote-tweeted<\/a> the video with a question about the authenticity of the video while saying, “If it is true, it goes against Indian media report of Indian troops confronting Chinese troops in Sikkim and forcing them to go back, It is opposite rather.”<\/p>\n

We found that this video is viral on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. The video has also been uploaded on YouTube<\/a> with the same claim.<\/p>\n

Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala shared the clip (archive<\/a>) after at least 20 Indian army soldiers were martyred in Galwan valley. He wrote, “Let us not muddle facts @DrSJaishankar
\nPl see the video on social media & tell why no firearms are being carried(see 34th sec for Galwan).” Surjewala’s video also includes a clip where Indian and Chinese soldiers are seen involved in a scuffle.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

We broke the video into multiple key-frames by using digital verification tool InVid. Alt News then performed a reverse image search on Google and found that the video<\/a> was uploaded on YouTube on January 13, 2020, captioned, “Chinese army arguing with Indo Tibetan Border Police (I.T.B.P.) in Border of Arunachal Pradesh.”<\/p>\n
