🚨 *Filter the Fiction* ❌ Misleading video from a partisan handle claiming “brave women of Manipur stopped Assam Rifles” while accusing the Indian Army of targeting Manipuris “on Modi’s orders” when cameras are off. ⚠️ This is classic one-sided propaganda from accounts pushing anti-India narratives in Manipur.

🚨 Filter the Fiction ❌ Several Pak based propagandist handles are falsely claiming that 6 Indian Army personnel were killed after an alleged NSCN-IM ambush on a military convoy near Litan in Manipur's Ukhrul district. ⚠️ These claims are being amplified by insurgent-linked and propaganda accounts without any credible evidence or official confirmation from Indian security agencies. ✅ FACT: Available reports indicate that unidentified gunmen ambushed an escorted goods vehicle in Ukhrul district on May 29, resulting in the death of a truck driver from West Bengal and injuries to a police constable. 🔍 The viral narrative aims to exaggerate or misrepresent the incident by attaching unverified military casualty claims to a separate attack that has already been reported through established channels. 🛑 Disinformation networks frequently exploit security incidents by inflating casualty figures and spreading unverified battlefield claims to shape public perception and create confusion online.
