A viral tweet from the account @TheLegateIN, reposting @DesiEsco7, claimed a 'CFV' (cross-fire violation) between Indian and Pakistani armies in Rajouri after Pakistan attempted to help terrorists infiltrate across the Line of Control. However, a thorough fact-check review by multiple independent verification sources confirms this claim is entirely fabricated. The narrative originates from a network of India-linked propaganda accounts known for spreading disinformation to escalate border tensions and incite nationalist sentiment. No credible military or official sources have reported any such incident on the stated date. The imagery and timing of the post are mismatched with real events, and geolocation analysis further disproves the claim. In my opinion, this is a deliberate attempt to manufacture a crisis for domestic political gain, exploiting the sensitive Kashmir issue. Such fake propaganda undermines regional stability and misleads the public, emphasizing the need for critical media literacy and cross-referencing with verified news outlets.
