The Indian Army’s fact-check unit traced the 13-second clip posted by the Chinese-language X handle @zmx8067, which drew about 17,100 views with the claim that India had released footage of its soldiers moving wounded personnel amid a PLA–Indian Army standoff in Arunachal Pradesh. The same footage appears in a YouTube Short uploaded on October 23, 2026, by the verified channel Fresher SSB, which has about 5.19 lakh subscribers. The short is titled “Karegutta Operation | Injured Jawan Evacuated for Treatment”, with hashtags such as #crpf and #army. It shows personnel carrying an injured colleague on a makeshift stretcher through the dry forest of the Karegutta hills on the Chhattisgarh–Telangana border, where security forces have carried out major operations against Maoist insurgents. The incident relates to internal counter-insurgency operations in central India and has nothing to do with the India–China border, Arunachal Pradesh or the PLA. Presenting it as evidence of Indian losses to China is propaganda, so such clips should be traced to their original source before being shared.
