Old Footage Misrepresented as Indian Army Destroying Homes in Manipur

A video that originally appeared in 2019 was shared on social media in May 2024 with claims that it showed the Indian Army demolishing homes of minority communities in Manipur. The clip, which depicts a convoy moving through a rural area, was taken from a different region and time and does not reflect any recent military activity in the state. Fact‑checking outlets have confirmed that the footage is unrelated to the current situation in Manipur. The Indian Army has denied any involvement in such actions and has urged the public to verify sources before sharing content. Authorities have warned that spreading misinformation could inflame communal tensions in the region.
