On October 19, 2026, the verified X handle “Zard si Gana” (@ZardSi), which has repeatedly spread fabricated content about the Indian Army, shared screenshots of a middle-aged man being confronted on a New York street at night. It claimed he was a former Indian Army general named “Laurav Kumar” and mocked the Army for “making India proud in front of the world”. Fact-checkers traced the clip to a livestream by OBLNATION on Kick titled “Live Indian Grandpa Predator Catch”, and the OBLNATION watermark is visible in the shared images. The stream describes the man only as an “Indian grandpa” and makes no reference to the Indian Army, any rank or military service. The name and military identity appear to have been invented. The allegations made in such vigilante streams have not been verified by any authority. This follows the same pattern as Baba Thoka’s recent “Lieutenant Ram Gopal” post, which reused another US vigilante video to defame the armed forces. Content like this should be reported, not shared .
