Video showing Afghan fans celebrating India’s win in CT fake
In the world of social media, misinformation and fake news are increasingly becoming a concern. The latest example of this is a video that was shared widely on social media platforms showing a large crowd celebrating on the streets of Afghanistan, claiming that the people of the country are celebrating India’s victory against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, a fact-check by the PTI fact-check team revealed that the video is old and actually shows Afghani people celebrating their team’s victory against England.
The video was shared on social media with the claim that it was taken in Afghanistan after India’s victory against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final. The video showed a large crowd of people celebrating and waving flags, with some of them even setting off fireworks. The caption with the video claimed that the people of Afghanistan were celebrating India’s victory, which was seen as a big upset in the cricketing world.
However, upon verification, the PTI fact-check team found that the video was actually taken after Afghanistan’s victory against England in 2019. The video was originally shared on social media by an Afghan user, who had captioned it “Afghanistan wins!” However, the video was later shared again with the false claim that it was taken in Afghanistan after India’s victory against New Zealand.
This is not the first instance of misinformation being spread on social media. In recent times, there have been several instances of fake news and misinformation being shared on social media platforms. This has led to a lot of confusion and misinformation being spread, which can have serious consequences.
The PTI fact-check team has been working hard to verify the authenticity of news and information shared on social media. They have been using various methods to verify the authenticity of news, including checking the source of the information, verifying the accuracy of the information, and checking for any anomalies in the video or image.
In this case, the PTI fact-check team was able to verify that the video was old and showed Afghani people celebrating their team’s victory against England. They were able to do this by checking the metadata of the video, which revealed that it was taken in 2019. They also checked with other sources to verify that the video was indeed taken after Afghanistan’s victory against England.
The PTI fact-check team’s efforts to verify the authenticity of news and information shared on social media are crucial in this era of misinformation. They are working hard to ensure that only accurate and reliable information is shared on social media, and that misinformation is not spread.
