A video allegedly featuring NDTV journalist Aditya Raj Kaul is being circulated on social media with claims that 15 Indian Army officers resigned within 10 days due to alleged extrajudicial actions in Kashmir and fears of future war-crimes trials. This claim is completely false. The video is digitally altered, and Aditya Raj Kaul made no such report or statement.
The fabricated claim was posted and promoted by Pakistani propaganda account @InsiderWB, which shared a digitally altered clip presenting it as breaking news.

15 Indian Army Officers have resigned in the past 10 days over extra judicial employments in Kashmir. These officers claim that they maybe trialed for war crimes in the future, had they continued working for an Oppressive regime. pic.twitter.com/Af4h7BffWs
Truth: NDTV Footage Manipulated Using Artificial Intelligence
As the false claim gained traction on social media, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team conducted a detailed frame-by-frame investigation, including analysis of facial gestures, lip movements, hand motions, and audio-visual synchronization. Our investigation traced the original footage to the NDTV YouTube and NDTV World news channels. A review of the authentic broadcast confirms that Aditya Raj Kaul never reported any resignations of Indian Army officers, nor did he mention extrajudicial actions, Kashmir-related war crimes, or resignations linked to such allegations.
The viral clip shows clear signs of AI-based manipulation, including mismatched lip movements and altered audio layered over unrelated visuals. No credible media outlet or official source has reported any such resignations from the Indian Army.
