The video is also shared by individual users with an identical narrative on Facebook and Twitter. Facebook pages – Bonno Troll, Our PM Narendra Modi, Mission MODI 2019, Hindustani Sena and Mera Bharat Mahan posted the video claiming that it depicted the Indian Army celebrating the attack on Pakistan.
Twitter handle @Muaaaahrwadi posting the video said, “Leaked video of Indain Air Force yesterday at 4:30 A.M.”
Alt News found that the video is old and NOT related to the recent air strike on Pakistan conducted by the Indian Air Force. A YouTube search with keywords, “Indian army dance”, reveals that it is an 11-month old video.
