Executive Summary

Viral clip claiming an Indian Action Committee member firing at security forces in Rawalakot was found AI-generated. Hive and Sightengine flagged it as synthetic.

Full Report

A video is being widely shared on social media showing a man firing a pistol, claimed to be from protests in Rawalakot, Pakistan-administered Kashmir. It further claims the person is linked to the Indian Action Committee and later portrayed as a victim after retaliation.

CyberPeace Research Wing found multiple visual inconsistencies: motorcycle riders move toward the firing instead of away, and passenger head/hand movements appear unnatural — common AI artifacts. Hive Moderation indicated a 63% probability the video was AI-generated; Sightengine flagged it as 99% AI-generated.

Conclusion: The video does not show a real Rawalakot protest incident. The claim is false.
