A video has gone viral showing a man swapping out a poster—allegedly connected to the Pahalgam terrorist attack—with one that says “Operation Sindoor.” It’s stirred up strong feelings online. But the truth is, the video has been digitally altered. What looks like a bold act is actually a manipulated clip with no real link to the attack.
An influencer account @VlKAS_PR0NAM0 captioned the video:
“Goose Bumps 🔥 Hats off to this gentleman, Now Pakistani must know how ruthless is Modiji”
The real story about the video Pahalgam Terror Attack Poster:
As soon as the video started making rounds online, claiming a connection to the Pahalgam attack, the D-Intent Data team stepped in to investigate. Using reverse image search and a careful frame-by-frame analysis, we discovered that the footage had been digitally altered. In reality, the original clip features Hollywood actor Sebastian Stan swapping out a movie poster for THUNDERBOLTS with one for THE NEW AVENGERS. Someone edited the video to change the context entirely, misleading viewers by falsely linking it to the attack.
We traced the video back to its real source — a harmless movie clip — and uncovered how it was edited to create a false narrative. It’s a reminder of how easily misinformation can take hold in moments of crisis.
