Baba Thoka and Clash Fire falsely claim Army officers forced a Muslim woman officer to drink cow urine
Executive Summaryसारांश
Baba Thoka and Clash Fire claim a video shows a Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Service Corps forcing a young Muslim woman officer to drink cow urine as punishment. Fact-checkers have labelled the posts propaganda. Nothing in the video supports the claim, and the scene matches the Army’s traditional “piping” ceremony, in which officers drink from a glass after receiving a new rank.Baba Thoka and Clash Fire claim a video shows a Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Service Corps forcing a young Muslim woman officer to drink cow urine as punishment.

On the night of October 25, 2026, the X handles “Baba Thoka” (@ThokaReturns) and “Clash Fire” (@Clashfire_) posted the same clip, minutes apart and with identical wording. It shows a woman officer in uniform drinking from a glass in a battalion office, with honour boards on the wall, while other officers stand around. The posts named a Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Service Corps and claimed he and a “partner in crime” had forced a young Muslim woman officer to drink cow urine as punishment. Fact-checkers have labelled them propaganda. The video gives no indication of punishment, coercion or the contents of the glass, and the setting and the officers’ relaxed manner match the regimental tradition of “piping”. In this ceremony, new rank insignia are dipped in a drink that the promoted officer then drinks in one go, as seen in a Times of India video of a 2020 piping ceremony. There is no credible report or official record of any such incident, and the woman officer’s religion and the claim of punishment appear to be invented. Naming a serving officer in a fabricated story and adding a communal angle is a serious smear meant to divide the Army along religious lines, and it continues these handles’ pattern of fake content against the armed forces. Such posts should be reported, not shared.
