Further research led us to the same video on a Facebook page named ‘Bd Live .com24’, where it was also identified as being from Dhaka.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/39671225852493290
Conclusion
Our research established that the viral video is not related to any incident in Tripura involving an attack on BSF personnel. The video actually shows police baton-charging workers during a protest in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Therefore, the video is being shared with a misleading claim linking it to the alleged attack on BSF personnel in Tripura.
Executive Summary
A video is being widely shared on social media with the claim that it shows the recent Assam floods, where nurses are rescuing newborn babies after water entered a hospital. The caption accompanying the viral video claims that the babies are not drowning; instead, healthcare workers and rescue teams are carrying them to safety amid floodwaters inside a hospital. It further states that the video shows humanity and courage during a time of crisis. CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found the claim to be false. The research revealed that the viral video showing healthcare workers rescuing newborn babies is not real but was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Claim:
An Instagram user named kamlakritika shared the video and claimed that it showed the Assam floods. The post stated that the babies were not drowning but were being rescued by healthcare workers and rescue teams from a flooded hospital. In the viral video, several nurses can be seen running through waterlogged areas while trying to protect incubators — containers used to keep newborn babies — from being submerged or swept away. According to the caption, a devastating flood had turned the entire area into a disaster zone. It claimed that incubators containing premature newborn babies were floating in floodwaters, while nurses were running behind them amid strong water currents to save the infants. The caption further claimed that several incubators were overturning and sinking with babies inside, putting hundreds of fragile lives at risk.

Factcheck
To verify the claim, CyberPeace Research Wing conducted a Google search using relevant keywords. During the search, the video was found shared by several other Instagram accounts. During the research, we found a report published by News18 on August 1, 2026. Although the report was related to the Assam floods, it mentioned a different incident. According to the report, a viral video showed floodwaters surrounding houses, with water spread across the area. In the video, a rescue team member can be seen carefully carrying a newborn baby in his arms through the flooded area and handing the child over to another rescue worker near a boat so that the baby could be taken to safety.
However, during our research, we could not find any information from credible news organisations or official sources confirming the viral video showing newborn babies being rescued in incubators. As part of further research, we closely examined the viral video and noticed several indications suggesting that it could be AI-generated. The video was then analysed using the AI detection tool FauxLens, which indicated that the video was approximately 75% AI-generated.
To further verify the authenticity of the video, we also analysed it using another AI detection tool, Human Meter. The tool showed an 85% probability of the video being generated with the help of AI.
Conclusion:
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the viral video claiming to show nurses rescuing newborn babies during Assam floods is false. The video is not an actual incident but an AI-generated creation.
Executive Summary
A video is being shared on social media with the claim that it shows Iran’s attack on a US military base located in Kuwait. It is being claimed that the video is from a recent attack carried out by Iran. CyberPeace Research Wing ’s research found the claim to be false. The research revealed that the video is actually from Panwan, a coastal town in southern Pakistan. The footage was published in connection with reports of a suicide attack carried out by a prominent militant organisation. The video has no connection with the alleged Iranian attack on a US military base in Kuwait.
Claim:
A Facebook post shared in the Sinhala language on July 25, 2026, claimed: “Iran targeted US-controlled Kuwaiti border checkpoints. The Abdali border checkpoint has been completely destroyed.” The post was shared along with a video of around one minute. In the video, a blue truck can be seen entering a secured compound. Within seconds, a massive explosion takes place, followed by a thick cloud of smoke rising into the sky. Text written in Sinhala on the video claimed: “Watch how Iran is attacking the US Abdali border crossing base located on the Kuwait border.”

Factcheck
As part of the research, keyframes from the viral video were extracted and a reverse image search was conducted. During the search, we found a report published by India Today on July 4, 2026. According to the report, the footage actually shows a suicide attack carried out by the Pakistan-based Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) militant group.
Further research led us to a report about a suicide bombing in Gwadar, Pakistan. According to the report, the BLA claimed responsibility for the attack and claimed that more than 30 security personnel were killed. Journalist Diksha Bisla also shared details about the incident.
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1233630812123459
A search on Google Maps showed the Panwan area and a structure along Gwadar Road that resembles the location visible in the viral video.
Conclusion:
CyberPeace Research Wing ’s research found that the claim is false. The viral video is not related to any alleged Iranian attack on a US military base in Kuwait. The footage is from Panwan, a coastal town in southern Pakistan, and was circulated during reports of a suicide attack claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
Executive Summary
A video of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is being widely shared on social media with the claim that he commented on the documentary series “Declassified: Operation Sindoor,” which is based on the military operations carried out by the Indian armed forces against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. In the viral clip, Kumar purportedly says that the documentary is performing very well, while the Indian Army's actual performance during Operation Sindoor was “nothing special.” The Research Wing of CyberPeace found that the viral video has been manipulated. Kumar did not make any such remarks about the documentary or the Indian Army.
Claim
A post on X allegedly shows Akshay Kumar saying that the recently released documentary “Declassified: Operation Sindoor” is doing well, while the Indian Army's actual performance during the operation was “nothing special.”
https://x.com/StrategicVang/status/2089563446597636212?s=20
Fact Check
To verify the claim, we conducted a Google search using keywords such as “Akshay Kumar,” “Operation Sindoor” and “documentary.” The search did not yield any credible media report confirming that Kumar had made the alleged remarks. We also checked Kumar’s official social media accounts but found no post or video in which he commented on “Declassified: Operation Sindoor” or criticised the Indian Army’s battlefield performance.
https://www.facebook.com/akshaykumarofficial/
We then conducted a reverse image search of key frames from the viral video. This led us to an X post by Lokmat Times Nagpur, which carries the same visuals seen in the viral clip. The post was published on December 10, 2025, and its watermark is also visible in the viral footage. This establishes that the original footage was available well before the documentary’s release. In the original video, Kumar can be seen speaking about the Indian Street Premier League, and not the “Declassified: Operation Sindoor” documentary or the Indian Army.
https://x.com/LokmatTimes_ngp/status/1998460903415595252
We further analysed the viral video using multiple AI-detection tools. Hive Moderation indicated a high probability of AI-generated/deepfake content
Another detector classified Kumar’s voice as likely deepfake, while Resemble AI also flagged the audio as fake.
Conclusion
The viral video has been digitally manipulated to make it appear as though Akshay Kumar commented on the “Declassified: Operation Sindoor” documentary and criticised the Indian Army’s performance during Operation Sindoor. The original footage predates the documentary and shows Kumar speaking about the Indian Street Premier League. The viral claim is false.
Executive Summary
Even after the conclusion of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, several misleading claims related to the demonstration continue to circulate on social media. During the protests, multiple AI-generated videos, deepfakes and fabricated narratives were circulated with the intention of misleading users. CyberPeace Research Wing’s Fact Check Team investigated several such viral claims and found that many of the videos were digitally manipulated or created using artificial intelligence (AI). The research revealed that fake audio, misleading captions and altered visuals were used to falsely attribute statements to public figures, including police officials, military officers and Union ministers. The following are four major false claims debunked by the CyberPeace Research Wing:
Claim 1: Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha resigned from IPS in support of student protests
A video of Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha was widely shared on social media with the claim that he resigned from the Indian Police Service (IPS) in support of the student movement at Jantar Mantar. In the viral video, DCP Sumit Jha is allegedly heard saying that he was resigning from his post with immediate effect and could not remain part of a system that forced him to spread false information against students. The video was shared with the claim that Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha resigned from his position to support protesting students.
Claim
An Instagram user shared the viral video on July 28, 2026, claiming that Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha had resigned from his post in support of protesting students.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbUr6CPoB13/
Fact Check
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found the claim to be false. The research revealed that DCP Sumit Jha has not resigned from his position. The viral video was digitally manipulated by adding AI-generated audio to an original video shared by the Delhi Police on its official X account on July 23, 2026.
The video was further analysed using the AI detection tool HIVE Moderation. The tool’s analysis indicated that the audio used in the viral video had a 91.8 per cent probability of being AI-generated, confirming that the audio was artificially created and was not authentic.
Claim 2: CDS Raja Subramani confirmed that more than 30,000 soldiers resigned over Jantar Mantar protests
A video featuring Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Raja Subramani was widely circulated on social media with the false claim that he confirmed the resignation of more than 30,000 Indian Army personnel following the Jantar Mantar protest. The viral video claimed that soldiers had refused to serve the government after police action against protesting students.
Claim
A Facebook user shared the video claiming: "After the protests at Jantar Mantar, India’s Chief of Defence Staff Raja Subramani has issued an emergency alert, saying that more than 30,000 soldiers have resigned in protest because their children were brutally beaten at Jantar Mantar."
Fact Check
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found the claim to be false. The research revealed that the video featuring CDS Raja Subramani was digitally manipulated using AI-generated audio. The original video did not contain any statement related to soldiers resigning or the Jantar Mantar protest. Further research led us to the same video posted by the Instagram account myyouthindia, where CDS Raja Subramani can be seen extending his best wishes to teams participating in the 135th Indian Oil Durand Cup Football Tournament. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DbEGRGBsKv8/
The audio circulating with the viral video was falsely added to create a misleading narrative.
Claim 3: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warned protesters of strict action
A video featuring Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was widely circulated on social media with the claim that he issued a strict warning against student protesters. In the viral clip, Singh was allegedly heard saying that the government would not tolerate “anarchy” and that strict action would be taken against those blocking roads, disturbing public order or damaging government property.
Claim
An X user (@ForumDefence) shared the video on July 22, 2026, claiming that Rajnath Singh had issued a warning regarding the ongoing student protest.
Fact Check
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found the claim to be false.The original video available on Rajnath Singh’s official YouTube channel was digitally altered by adding AI-generated audio. The statement heard in the viral video was not made by the Defence Minister and was created using artificial intelligence. The viral video was also analysed using the AI detection tool HIVE Moderation. The analysis indicated that the speech used in the video had an 88.1 per cent probability of being AI-generated.
Claim 4: Piyush Goyal threatened to hang CJP supporters
A video of Union Minister Piyush Goyal was shared on social media with the false claim that he threatened protesters and called for two to three CJP supporters to be hanged to "teach the rest of them a lesson." In the AI-manipulated video, Goyal was allegedly heard saying: "To teach the CJP a lesson, we should hang two to three of its supporters so that they understand the real power of the government."
https://x.com/HinduReformer/status/2080367073117790288?s=20
Fact Check
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the viral video was digitally manipulated using AI-generated audio. The original video, posted on the Press Trust of India’s official X account, showed Piyush Goyal discussing the government’s response to examination paper leaks and appealing for the issue to be resolved through dialogue. He made no remarks threatening protesters or calling for the execution of CJP supporters.
The audio and statements attributed to him in the viral video were fabricated using AI technology.
Conclusion
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that all four viral claims related to the CJP protest were false. The videos circulating on social media were either digitally manipulated or created using AI-generated audio to falsely attribute statements to public officials. The research highlights how AI-generated deepfakes and manipulated content are increasingly being used to spread misinformation during sensitive events.
Executive Summary
A video is being widely shared on social media with the claim that a terrorist attack took place at the ISKCON Temple in Patna. The posts claim that terrorists opened indiscriminate fire at security personnel deployed at the main gate, carried out bomb blasts, and took two priests hostage. CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the claim of a terrorist attack on the ISKCON Temple in Patna is false. The viral video is not from an actual attack but from a security mock drill conducted at the temple.
Claim
A Facebook post shared a video claiming: "Three suspected terrorists entered the ISKCON Temple! Security guards were shot at the gate. Three suspected terrorists carrying modern weapons and hand grenades suddenly entered the Patna ISKCON Temple in the morning and killed the security personnel deployed at the gate. They then carried out a bomb blast, creating panic inside the temple campus."
The Facebook post archive can be accessed here. Similar posts can be found here and here.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/2501959103601059
Factcheck
To verify the claim, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and conducted a reverse image search. During the search, we found reports from several credible media organisations clarifying that the video was not related to any real terrorist attack but was from a mock drill conducted to assess the preparedness of security forces. According to a Dainik Bhaskar report published on July 29, a security mock drill was conducted at the ISKCON Temple in Patna. During the exercise, a simulated emergency situation was created in which police personnel were assigned the role of suspected terrorists and were made to enter the temple premises. The drill involved personnel from Kotwali, Jakkanpur and Buddha Colony police stations, along with magistrates and around 50 police personnel who reached the spot and took charge of the situation. An ATS team was also immediately called during the exercise.
The report also quoted Patna ASP (Law and Order) Krishna Murari Prasad, who clarified that the exercise was organised to strengthen the temple’s security arrangements.
A Navbharat Times report published on July 29 also stated that, as part of the planned mock drill, three Bihar Police personnel carrying advanced weapons and hand grenades were sent inside the ISKCON Temple premises. Security agencies responded quickly, cordoned off the area, and the ATS team took control of the personnel and mock explosives, successfully completing the exercise.
During our research , we also found a post dated July 29, 2026, on the official Facebook page of the Home Department, Government of Bihar, regarding the mock drill.
The post stated that the Bihar ATS successfully conducted a security mock drill at the ISKCON Temple premises in Patna. The objective of the exercise was to test coordination between security agencies and stakeholders, quick response capabilities, and the effective implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) during a possible terrorist attack or emergency situation. The post further mentioned that the drill included a rapid response to suspicious activity, area sanitisation, safe evacuation of devotees, search for suspects, and other necessary security measures.
https://www.facebook.com/HomeDeptBihar/posts/1492697179568423?ref=embed_post
Conclusion
The evidence gathered during the research confirms that the viral claim is false. The video being shared with the claim of a terrorist attack on Patna’s ISKCON Temple actually shows a security mock drill conducted by the authorities to assess emergency preparedness.
Executive Summary

In the next step of our research , we scanned the viral video using another AI detection tool, WasIt AI. The results indicated that the video was generated using artificial intelligence.
Finally, we analysed the video using the AI detection tool AI or Not, which also concluded that the viral video was created with the help of AI.
Conclusion
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the viral claim is false. The video showing a monk walking among lions in a dense forest is not authentic but an AI-generated creation. The video is being shared with a misleading claim.
Executive Summary
Following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on July 25, 2026, after protests by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, a video of Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been widely shared on social media. In the clip, Salman is heard saying, “Kyunki is desh aur desh ki janta mein hai bada dum” (“Because this country and its people are truly strong”). Social media users have falsely claimed that the actor made the statement in response to Pradhan’s resignation. CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the viral video is not recent. It dates back to October 2022, when Salman Khan congratulated actor Chiranjeevi on the release of his film GodFather. Salman Khan did not make any such statement following Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation. The viral claim is false.
Claim
An Instagram user, 'snatani_9', shared a video on July 27, 2026, claiming it showed Salman Khan reacting to Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
“Where were these people during the Pahalgam attack? Where were they during Pulwama? Can any chamcha answer? Salman Khan’s big statement on Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.”
In the viral clip, Salman Khan is heard saying:“Kyunki is desh aur desh ki janta mein hai bada dum. Vande Mataram.”
https://www.instagram.com/reels/DbTfYjjz3_f/
https://perma.cc/F2XF-G268?type=standard
Fact Check
To verify the claim, we extracted keyframes from the viral video and performed a reverse image search using Google Lens. The search led us to a longer version of the same video uploaded on October 5, 2022, on Salman Khan’s official Instagram account, @beingsalmankhan.
In the original video, Salman Khan is congratulating veteran actor Chiranjeevi on the success of his film GodFather. He says, “My dear Chiru Garu, I love you very much. I have heard that GodFather is doing extremely well. Congratulations and may God bless you. Do you know why, Chiru Garu? Because this country and its people are truly strong.”
https://www.instagram.com/p/CjVhqZbgFJh
As part of our research , we also reviewed Salman Khan’s recent Instagram posts. We found a post published on July 23, 2026, in which he appealed to students and their parents amid the paper leak controversy. In the post, he urged students not to worry, expressed confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would ensure strict action against those responsible, and appealed to protesters to return home peacefully.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DbI2C8CoUSa
However, none of Salman Khan’s recent posts contain any statement linking him to Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation.
Conclusion
Our research found that the viral video is from October 2022, when Salman Khan congratulated Chiranjeevi on the success of GodFather. The clip has been taken out of context and falsely linked to Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation in July 2026. Salman Khan did not make any such statement after the minister stepped down. Therefore, the viral claim is false.
Executive Summary
A letter circulating on social media falsely claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resigned from his post. CyberPeace Research Wing's research found the claim to be false. Our research confirmed that the viral letter is fabricated and is being shared with a misleading claim. AI detection tools also indicate that the document is highly likely to have been generated using artificial intelligence.
Claim
An Instagram user shared the viral letter on July 29, 2026, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had resigned from office.

Fact Check
To verify the claim, we conducted a keyword search on Google. However, we found no credible media reports supporting the claim that Prime Minister Modi had resigned.
We then visited the official website of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO India). The website contained no announcement, press release, or official information confirming the purported resignation.
https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/
As part of our research , we also reviewed the official X (formerly Twitter) account of PMO India. We found no post or statement related to the viral claim.
Finally, we analyzed the viral letter using the AI detection tool Sightengine AI. The analysis indicated that the document is 99% likely to be AI-generated.
To further verify the findings, we also scanned the letter using AI or Not. According to the tool's analysis, the document is 64% likely to be AI-generated.
Conclusion
The claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resigned is false. No credible media organization or official government source has reported such a development. Furthermore, AI detection tools strongly suggest that the viral resignation letter was generated using artificial intelligence and is being circulated with a false claim.
Executive Summary
A video is being widely shared on social media with the claim that a youth was killed in police firing in Bihar’s Siwan. The viral 1-minute-22-second video shows a young man standing with a stick in his hand. Moments later, gunfire is heard, after which he appears to be injured and collapses. His associates are then seen carrying him away from the spot. CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the claim is false. The research revealed that the viral video is not from Bihar’s Siwan but dates back to the student protests in Bangladesh in July 2024.
Claim:
The video was shared on X with a caption claiming that it shows a police firing incident in Bihar’s Siwan, where a student was allegedly killed after police opened fire with AK-47 rifles.
The caption stated, “This video is going viral on social media. It is being claimed that this video is from Siwan, Bihar, where police fired AK-47s at students. During the firing, a youth was hit by two bullets and died.”
https://x.com/Deshmukh_0/status/2082053481993740701
Fact Check:
To verify the authenticity of the viral claim, we extracted keyframes from the video and conducted a reverse image search. During the research, we found a longer version of the same video uploaded on the YouTube channel of a Bangladeshi news portal on July 16, 2024.
According to the video description, the footage shows the death of student Abu Sayed during protests in Rangpur, Bangladesh, on July 16, 2024.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuf7H0MNIaI
Further research led us to a report published by bdnews24, which also carried visuals matching those seen in the viral video. The report stated that on July 16, 2024, Abu Sayed, an English Department student at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, Bangladesh, died after being shot during the protests.
https://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/87ef7e69c496#google_vignette
Conclusion:
The evidence gathered during the research confirms that the viral video claiming to show a youth being killed in police firing in Bihar’s Siwan is misleading. The video is actually from Bangladesh and shows the death of student Abu Sayed during the July 2024 protests in Rangpur. The old footage is being shared with a false claim linking it to a recent incident in Bihar.
Executive Summary
Even after the conclusion of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, several misleading claims related to the demonstration continue to circulate on social media. In a similar instance, a video of Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha is being widely shared, claiming that he resigned from the Indian Police Service in support of the student movement. In the viral video, DCP Sumit Jha is allegedly heard saying that he is resigning from his post with immediate effect and cannot be part of a system that forces him to spread false information against students. The video is being shared with the claim that Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha resigned from his position in support of protesting students.
CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found the claim to be false. The research revealed that DCP Sumit Jha has not resigned. The viral video was digitally altered by adding AI-generated audio to an original video shared by the Delhi Police on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on July 23, 2026. The manipulated video is being circulated with a false claim.
Claim
A user on Instagram shared the viral video on July 28, 2026, claiming that Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha had resigned from his post in support of the student protest. The post link, archive link, and screenshot are provided below.

Another Instagram user also shared the same video with a similar claim. The post link, archive link, and screenshot are provided below.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbUr6CPoB13/
Fact Check
To verify the authenticity of the viral claim, we conducted a Google search using relevant keywords. However, we did not find any credible news report or official information confirming that Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha had resigned in support of the student protest. During the research, we found a post shared by the official X account of Delhi Police on July 26, 2026. In the post, Delhi Police clarified that a fake and AI-generated video of DCP Sumit Jha was being circulated on social media, falsely showing him resigning in support of the student protest.
Delhi Police also reshared the original video of DCP Sumit Jha, which was posted on July 23, 2026. According to the caption, 480 Pakistan-based social media handles involved in coordinated disinformation campaigns were identified and blocked. Delhi Police appealed to students and young people to remain cautious of such foreign accounts attempting to spread rumours and misinformation. In the 54-second original video, DCP Sumit Jha can be seen warning people against misinformation circulating on social media. He stated that more than 400 Pakistan-based social media handles had been identified for spreading fake content and rumours. He said the objective of such accounts was to provoke people and mislead students.
DCP Sumit Jha appealed to citizens not to trust fake posts, edited videos, or content shared by anonymous social media accounts without verification. He also said that peaceful protest is a democratic right and that Delhi Police respects this right.
The original post and screenshot can be accessed below:
https://x.com/DelhiPolice/status/2081352316767396053?s=20
A comparison between the original video and the viral video showed that the statements in both videos are completely different. The original video of DCP Sumit Jha does not contain any statement related to his resignation or support for the student protest, as claimed in the viral video. Further, the viral video was analysed using the AI detection tool HIVE Moderation. The tool’s analysis indicated that the audio used in the video had a 91.8% probability of being AI-generated, confirming that the audio was not authentic and had been artificially created.
Conclusion
The research found that Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha has not resigned from his post. The viral video has been digitally manipulated by adding AI-generated audio to an original video and is being shared with a false claim on social media.
Executive Summary
A video is being widely shared on social media showing a flood-affected area. In the video, several houses appear to be almost completely submerged in water, with only their triangular rooftops visible above the surface. Several people can be seen sitting on these rooftops, while ducks and other animals appear to be floating in the water. The video is being shared with the claim that it shows the real situation during the recent floods in Assam. CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found the claim to be misleading. The research revealed that the viral video is not from any real flood incident but was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although the flood situation in Assam is real and several parts of the state have been affected, the viral video has no connection with those events. The AI-generated video is being falsely shared as an actual visual from the Assam floods.
Claim
A user on Instagram shared the viral video on July 27, 2026, claiming that Assam continues to face severe flooding, with more than seven lakh people affected. The post link, archive link and screenshot are provided below.

FactCheck
To verify the authenticity of the viral claim, we extracted several key frames from the video and conducted a reverse image search using Google Lens. The search did not reveal any credible news report, official source, or reliable information confirming that the video showed real flood visuals from Assam. During the research, we found a report published by Aaj Tak on July 27, 2026. According to the report, the flood situation in Assam remained severe, with several deaths reported and more than 7.05 lakh people affected across nine districts of the state. The report link and screenshot are provided below.
As the video appeared suspicious, we analysed it using the AI detection tool HIVE Moderation. The tool’s analysis indicated a 98.8 percent probability that the video was AI-generated, suggesting that it was not a real recording.
Further research was carried out using another AI detection tool, DetectVideo.AI, which found a 77 percent likelihood of the video being AI-generated.
For additional verification, we extracted key frames from the viral video and analysed them using another AI detection tool, AI or Not. The tool’s assessment indicated a 96 percent probability that the visuals were AI-generated.
Conclusion
The research established that the viral video is not from a real flood incident but was created using AI. While flooding in Assam is a real situation, this AI-generated video is unrelated to the actual floods and is being circulated on social media with a misleading claim.
Executive Summary
A video is being widely shared on social media, allegedly showing Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Raja Subramani referring to the resignation of more than 30,000 Indian soldiers. The video is being circulated with the claim that CDS Raja Subramani confirmed that over 30,000 personnel resigned in protest following the demonstration held at Jantar Mantar. CyberPeace Research Wing’s research found that the viral claim is false. The research revealed that the video featuring CDS Raja Subramani has been digitally manipulated and created using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The original video does not contain any statement related to soldiers’ resignations or the Jantar Mantar protest.
Claim
A Facebook user shared the video with a claim stating: “After the protests at Jantar Mantar, India’s Chief of Defence Staff Raja Subramani has issued an emergency alert, saying that more than 30,000 soldiers have resigned in protest because their children were brutally beaten at Jantar Mantar.”

Fact Check
To verify the authenticity of the viral video, we extracted a key frame and conducted a reverse image search using Google Lens. During the search, we found the same video uploaded by the Eastern Command of the Indian Army (@easterncomd) on its official X account on July 21, 2026. The original video shows CDS Raja Subramani extending his best wishes to all participating teams of the 135th Indian Oil Durand Cup Football Tournament. There is no mention of any soldier resignations or the Jantar Mantar protest in the original footage.

Conclusion
The research established that the viral video of CDS Raja Subramani has been manipulated using AI-generated content. The original video is related to the 135th Indian Oil Durand Cup Football Tournament and does not contain any statement about the resignation of 30,000 Indian soldiers or the Jantar Mantar protest. The digitally altered video is being shared with a false claim.
