🚨 Spot the Synthetic ❌ A digitally altered video of COAS General Dhiraj Seth is being circulated with a fabricated claim that he narrated “Major Rajendra Pratap drank cow urine for 40 days to quench his thirst during the 1965 war” and that modern Army personnel should continue such a practice. ❌ This clip is AI generated and manipulated by @InsiderWB, where the genuine footage of the Army Chief is falsely attributed with fictitious words that are unrelated to the original event. ✅ FACT: COAS General Dhiraj Seth visited the Operation Drishti Mega Eye Surgical Camp at Tangdhar, Kupwara, Jammu & Kashmir, where he interacted with patients and Army veterans and reviewed their welfare and healthcare concerns. There was no narration of such story. 👉See original Video Here: nitter.net/PTI_News/status/210340… 🎯 Disinformation Pattern: Genuine COAS footage + digitally altered audio + unrelated historical claim + provocative caption = misleading synthetic propaganda. ⚠️ Don’t let manipulated audio rewrite reality. Verify before you amplify. #FactCheck #SyntheticGeneratedInformation #IndianArmy #OperationDrishti @adgpi @NorthernComd_IA @ChinarcorpsIA @PIBFactCheck @GoI_MeitY
