Executive Summary
Social media users are claiming that Indian Army Chief General Dhiraj Seth dances with soldiers’ wives and attended a dance competition organised by the Border Security Force Wives Welfare Association (BWWA). CyberPeace Research found no credible sources to substantiate the viral claim. Our research revealed that the viral image is related to his visit to Nepal. According to reports, he travelled to Nepal on his first foreign visit after taking charge of the Indian Army, where he was welcomed by senior Nepal Army officials. During the visit, he was also scheduled to receive the honorary rank of General of the Nepal Army. However, his photograph is being linked to a dance video from an event organised by the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), accompanied by objectionable claims about him. Our research found no credible evidence confirming that General Dhiraj Seth attended the event or was associated with the activities shown in the video. Therefore, linking his photograph from the Nepal visit to the dance video is misleading.

Executive Summary
Following the flash floods that struck the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday morning, 289 bodies have so far been recovered, while around 1,500 people remain missing. A large number of foreign nationals, along with Nepali citizens, are also among those reported missing. Meanwhile, a video showing a massive landslide is being widely circulated on social media. The viral clip is actually a compilation of two separate videos. The first shows a landslide rapidly turning into a torrent of muddy floodwater, while the second shows a two-storey house on a riverbank being swept away by rising floodwaters. A research done by the Research Wing of the CyberPeace found that both videos are old and unrelated to Nepal. The first video is from Myanmar, while the second was recorded in the United States.
Claim:
A user on social media platform Facebook shared the video, claiming that it shows the initial scenes of the devastating floods and landslides that struck Nepal.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1572666177989617
Fact Check:
To verify the first video, we conducted a reverse image search of its keyframes. During the search, we found a longer version of the same footage, which was shared on an Instagram account on June 30. This confirmed that the viral clip is unrelated to the recent floods in Nepal.
https://www.instagram.com/reels/DaLtKtjzTtq/
During the research, we also found the full version of the video on a YouTube channel, where it was uploaded on January 28, 2024. Although the video caption did not clearly specify the location of the incident, it mentioned Myanmar several times. This confirms that the viral video is old footage from Myanmar and not related to the recent disaster in Nepal.

Executive Summary
A purported statement attributed to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is going viral on social media. The post claims that Johnson said about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “Modi bows under pressure.” It also attributes a comparison between Jawaharlal Nehru and Modi to Johnson, portraying Nehru as more courageous. A research done by the Research Wing of the CyberPeace found the viral claim to be false. During the research, the team examined Boris Johnson’s interview at the ET World Leaders Forum 2026, along with media reports related to the interview. The available transcript contains no remark by Johnson saying “Modi bows under pressure” or anything similar. On the contrary, he praised the changes and development taking place in India.
Claim:
A user on Instagram shared the viral claim, writing: “The purported statement by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has intensified the debate over India’s foreign policy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. The viral claim describes Nehru’s foreign policy as visionary while accusing the Modi government of bowing under pressure and taking shortcuts. The statement has triggered political reactions on social media.” The link to the post, its archive link, and a screenshot are provided below.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Dcdo_TGy-W0/
Fact Check
To verify the authenticity of the viral claim, the Desk examined the available transcript and reports of Boris Johnson’s interview at the ET World Leaders Forum 2026. The Desk found that Johnson also praised India’s current situation. He said that India is going through a “very good period under very strong and stable leadership.” He described India’s progress as “a really wonderful story” and expressed optimism about the country’s future.
During the interview, Johnson discussed several international issues, including India-UK relations, US-UK ties, NATO defence spending, the Iran war and the Ukraine war. The available interview transcript contains no statement from him saying that “Modi bows under pressure” or that Nehru was more courageous than Modi. Johnson also referred to Jawaharlal Nehru in the context of India-Russia relations. He recalled that the late Queen Elizabeth II had once shared an anecdote about a conversation she had with Nehru in the 1950s, during which Nehru reportedly told her that India would always stand by Russia and that some things never change.
Conclusion
Boris Johnson did not make any statement at the ET World Leaders Forum 2026 suggesting that “Modi bows under pressure” or that “Nehru had courage.” On the contrary, he praised India’s progress and spoke positively about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. Johnson did mention Nehru during the conversation, but his reference was in the context of India-Russia relations and an old conversation between Nehru and the late Queen Elizabeth II. He did not compare Nehru with Modi, nor did he criticise Modi. Therefore, the claim circulating on social media attributing the statement “Nehru had courage, Modi bows under pressure” to Boris Johnson is false.

Executive Summary
A video showing a massive crowd is being shared on social media with the claim that it shows an anti-reservation protest held at Jantar Mantar. However, a research done by the research wing of the CyberPeace revealed that the video is not from any anti-reservation protest at Jantar Mantar, but from the Jagannath Rath Yatra organized in Puri, Odisha.
Claim:
The video is being shared on X (formerly Twitter) with a viral caption that translates to: “Today, this massive gathering at Jantar Mantar created so much fear in the ruling government that upper-caste voices are being put under HOUSE ARREST across various states. Tomorrow will bring a tsunami, not just a surge. Until caste-based reservation, the SC/ST Act, and UGC regulations are removed, it will be difficult to stop us.”
https://x.com/bjpryvsh/status/2091554860785438887?s=20
Fact Check:
To investigate the viral video, reverse image searches were conducted using keyframes extracted from the clip. This led to an Instagram post uploaded on July 18. The caption accompanying the video clearly identified the footage as being from the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri, Odisha.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Da7tF2Etiae/
The visuals in the video were matched with the surroundings of the Jagannath Temple in Puri available on Google Maps Street View, confirming beyond doubt that the location in the video is near the Jagannath Temple in Puri.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/JAY+JAGANNATH+HANDICARFTS/@
Similar visuals were found in photos uploaded by the X account of The New Indian Express Odisha on July 16, 2026. The imagery in these photographs closely matched the scenes in the viral video, and the caption stated that they were captured during the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri.

Executive Summary
A video is going viral on social media in which Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is seen allegedly saying, “During Operation Sindoor, we initially hid the losses of jets and soldiers so that Pakistan could not use them for propaganda. Later, a documentary was made to reveal the truth.” Research by the CyberPeace Research Wing found that the video is completely fake and was created using artificial intelligence (AI). Defence Minister Rajnath Singh never made any such statement. The video has primarily been circulated by Pakistani accounts.
Claim:
A video of Rajnath Singh has been shared by a Pakistani user on the social media platform X, with the caption: “Rajnath Singh while commenting on Operation Sindoor documentary makes a starting revelation, Initially we did not admit any jet or soldier losses to avoid giving any propaganda chances for Pakistan but then we made this documentary to tell the truth.” The post link and screenshot are provided below.
https://x.com/i/status/2091095915021193252
Fact Check:
To investigate the viral claim, we first extracted keyframes from the video and conducted a reverse image search using Google Lens. During this process, we found the original video on ANI’s X account, in which Defense Minister Rajnath Singh can be seen saying: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said, “The remarks made yesterday in the Lok Sabha by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India’s foreign policy are extremely cheap and condemnable. Personally, this is painful for me as well. In my long political life, I have never seen such unbecoming and unthinkable behavior from any Leader of Opposition. Such conduct poses a serious threat to a healthy democracy. Rahul Gandhi may feel disappointment toward the Prime Minister, but such improper remarks are unacceptable—especially when PM Modi has elevated India’s national and international prestige and paved the way for a ‘Viksit Bharat’.
Working with complete dedication for 12 years, he has not taken a single day off. Such unbecoming remarks against such a Prime Minister pain every Indian I would also humbly like to ask the Congress Party: after such language and conduct, can it still claim the legacy of great stalwarts ranging from Lal-Bal-Pal and Gandhi, Patel, Nehru to Subhas Babu, Rajendra Babu, Shastri Ji, Narasimha Rao Ji, and Pranab Mukherjee? Through this behavior, Rahul Gandhi has not only insulted Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also damaged India’s international reputation. He has tarnished the dignity of the post of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. I cannot even imagine that anyone carrying the surname 'Gandhi' could make such a shameful remark.” Throughout the entire video, he never made the statement attributed to him in the viral claim. The post link and screenshot are provided below.
https://x.com/ANI/status/2088230045102002466
We scanned the audio on the AI detection tool Resemble AI, where the results confirmed that the voice is AI-generated.

Our research revealed that the viral video is completely fake and was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The research confirmed that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh made no such statement. It was also revealed during the fact-check that this fake video is being primarily circulated on social media through Pakistani accounts.
Executive Summary
A video was shared on social media showing a woman food delivery agent allegedly being assaulted by a customer. The video showed the woman ringing a house’s doorbell to deliver an order. A man, who appeared to be in an inebriated state, came out, collected the order and left without paying. When the woman rang the doorbell again and asked him to pay for the order, another man, who appeared to be his friend, came out. The two men then appeared to forcibly pull the woman inside the house. She was later seen emerging from the house visibly injured and distressed, suggesting that she may have been assaulted. CyberPeace Research Wing reviewed the viral media and confirmed that the footage is staged. It bears no connection to any actual event and has been circulated on social networks with a misleading context.
Claim
On August 21, Facebook user D.K. Sharma shared a video clip asserting that it captures a real instance of a female food delivery partner being assaulted by customers. In the viral footage, a delivery woman knocks on a house door to drop off an order. An apparently intoxicated man receives the package and leaves without making the payment. When she rings the doorbell again to request the payment, a second man joins him. The duo is then seen forcibly dragging the woman inside the residence. Moments later, she emerges from the house visibly distressed and injured, suggesting physical assault.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1326466852646458/
Fact Check
A Google Reverse Image Search led the Desk to a video posted on a Facebook page named 3RD EYE, which had over 1.1 million followers at the time of publication of this story. The page had shared the same video on June 21, showing a food delivery agent being assaulted, as seen in the viral social media posts. However, upon carefully reviewing the disclaimer accompanying the video, the Desk found that it was scripted and not based on any real-life incident.
The disclaimer clearly stated that the video was intended to raise awareness, entertain and educate viewers. The page caption read: “Thank you for watching! Please note that this page features scripted dramas, parodies, and awareness videos. These short films are created for entertainment and educational purposes only. All characters and situations depicted in the videos are fictional and intended to raise awareness, entertain and educate.”
https://www.facebook.com/reel/764475639236044
Further inspection of the '3RD EYE' Facebook channel confirmed a routine pattern of posting scripted awareness clips and fictional dramatizations.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/824802854039405
Conclusion
The claim that a female food delivery partner was assaulted by customers in a real-life incident is FALSE. The video in question is a fictional, scripted short drama created for educational/entertainment purposes and has been falsely shared as a genuine occurrence.
Executive Summary
A viral social media post featuring a picture of former Chief Election Commissioner Achal Kumar Jyoti claims he served as the chairman of the company manufacturing EVM microchips and altered EVM settings at the behest of PM Modi. According to a research done by CyberPeace's research wing, the claim that former Chief Election Commissioner Achal Kumar Jyoti was the chairman of an EVM chip manufacturing company and altered EVMs at the behest of PM Modi is completely false.
Claim
Social media posts circulated statements claiming: "PM Modi ordered EVM tampering; the company manufacturing EVM memory chips confessed. Will the SC take note, cancel all elections from 2014 to 2019, and send Modi to life imprisonment?"
https://x.com/RatnakarGedam/status/2090639442411470936?s=20
Fact-Check
Relevant keyword searches yield no credible news reports, official statements, or legal documentation supporting claims that Achal Kumar Jyoti tampered with EVMs or issued any such confession. Achal Kumar Jyoti served as the Chief Election Commissioner of India from July 6, 2017, to January 22, 2018. Prior to this, he was a 1975-batch IAS officer of the Gujarat cadre who served in various administrative roles, including Chief Secretary of Gujarat.

According to official information, Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used in Indian elections are manufactured exclusively by two Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs): Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL). Official records confirm that Achal Kumar Jyoti was never appointed as the Chairman or Director of BEL, ECIL, or any entity manufacturing microchips for EVMs.
https://www.eci.gov.in/evm-faqs/?utm_source
Conclusion
The claim that former Chief Election Commissioner Achal Kumar Jyoti headed an EVM chip manufacturing company and tampered with voting machines is completely fabricated and baseless.
Executive Summary:
On August 13, 2026, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and MP Rahul Gandhi, speaking at a Rashtriya Congress program, alleged that in several places in Arunachal Pradesh, China has stopped our army from patrolling. Following this, a video went viral on social media showing weeping women standing behind uniformed personnel in a vehicle. Some users shared this video targeting the central government with claims of Chinese army infiltration in Arunachal Pradesh. The research by the CyberPeace's research wing revealed that the viral video is actually from Manipur. The video was captured when the United National Liberation Front (UNLF) was vacating its 'Nongshum Camp' in the Nongshum area of Manipur.
Claim:
On August 15, 2026, Facebook user ‘Adv Raman Yadav’ posted a video (archive link) writing, "Arunachal_Pradesh.. in China's grip, citizens will hoist the Tiranga at home themselves, but who will hoist it on the country's border?
