Pak guy mocked Pakistan Army for failing to intercept India's missiles. Now his family's in trouble
India neutralised a wave of missile and drone attacks launched by Pakistan on the night of May 8, targeting key military installations. Having failed once again at destroying Indian military assets, the Pakistani government is now reportedly cracking down on its May 8, a video of a Pakistani man named Aladeen lauding the Indian Army's Operation Sindoor and calling out the failure of Pakistan's defence system went viral on social media. A day later, reports from Pakistan say that the police took strong action against his family. advertisementAccording to a post shared on May 9 by Sabir Shakir, a journalist at Pakistan's ARY News, the police went after Aladeen's family. They reportedly tortured his brother and vandalised his Sabir Shakir (@ARYSabirShakir) May 9, 2025 We also found a news report on the Pakistani website Siasat about the incident. It quoted Aladeen saying, 'Today, my brother's office was attacked by agencies and police. People came in 4 to 5 vehicles without a warrant. The office was attacked. My two brothers were vandalised and tortured. After beating them, they took them away. Everything in the office was broken, and all the laptops and mobile phones were taken away. My parents have been harassed by the Special Branch Gujrat and the IS office in Kharian Cantt for the past two years.' Notably, Gujrat here refers to the city in Pakistan, not the Indian X account lists his location as Germany. Several of his posts questioned Pakistani journalists for letting people die in silence while playing to the tunes of the such post read: 'This is what we are saying: hold the military trial later, pick up Shehr Bano's mother later, threaten my family later. At this time, nothing is more important than Pakistan's defense, survival, and future.' Aladeen (@Aladeen_Pro) May 8, 2025Apart from Aladeen, other Pakistanis have also shared videos, calling out the police and authorities for deceiving people and lying about Indian drone to the prevailing war-like situation between India and Pakistan, we were not able to speak directly to InTrending Reel

"Thoda Seekh Lo": Pakistani Journalist Slammed For Posting Old Gaza Video As Op Sindoor
New Delhi: The Indian Armed Forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' on Wednesday, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), weeks after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. India carried out 24 precision missile strikes targeting 9 locations, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke. Amid this, a Pakistani journalist shared an old video from Gaza claiming it was of the Indian strike. 'Indian attack in Bahawalpur,' Sabir Shakir wrote on X, sharing the footage showing missile strikes being carried out at night. Shakir's X bio says he is a journalist with Pakistan's ARY news channel. بھارتی حملہ بہالپور میں — Sabir Shakir (@ARYSabirShakir) May 6, 2025 A Google reverse image search of the video shows it was first shared by Kabul News in 2023, reporting on an incident from Gaza, and it is not from Pakistan, as claimed. 'Israel intensified its bombing of Gaza last night. According to Palestinian media reports, 400 people, including women and children, lost their lives in last night's bombings, and hundreds more are still trapped under collapsed buildings,' the Afghanistani news portal wrote in the post shared in 2023. اسرائیلو پرون شپه پر غزې باندې خپلو بمباریو ته شدت ورکړی. د فلسطیني رسنۍ د راپور له مخې د پرون شپې په بمباریو کې د ښځو او ماشومانو په گډون ۴۰۰ کسانو خپل ژوند له لاسه ورکړی او سلگونه نور لا د نړیدلو ودانیو لاندې دي. — KABUL NEWS (@kabulnewstv) October 23, 2023 Netizens soon noticed the video was old and slammed the journalist for misinformation. An X user wrote, "Bhai jhoot ki b had hoti... nechy community note b zra prhy (There is a limit of telling lies, reach the community note below)." Another user wrote, "Sab kuch fake hain is mulk main (everything is fake in the country)." A third user said, "bhai kyun fake videos laga rahay ho, thora sikh lo (brother, why are you putting out old videos, learn something)." India's Action Against Pakistan India's military strikes, under the codename Operation Sindoor, came two weeks after the Pahalgam attack in which 26 civilians were killed in cold blood by terrorists. Sources said over 70 terrorists were killed and more than 60 were wounded in the attack, significantly degrading the operational capability of these groups. After the operation, the Indian army said "justice is served" to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, with New Delhi stressing its actions "have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature". "No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and the method of execution," an official statement said. Indian intelligence has cited clear evidence that the Pakistan Army provided logistical support and safe havens to terrorist groups, and sources said the strikes were aimed at exposing and dismantling this deep-rooted nexus between the military and cross-border terrorism. The targets included Hizbul Mujahideen's facility in Mehmoona Joya in Sialkot, Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Markaz Ahle Hadith in Barnala and its camp in Muzaffarabad's Shawai Nalla. India also struck at Jaish-e-Mohammad's Markaz Abbas facility in Kotli.

Pakistani journalist slammed for posting old Gaza video as Operation Sindoor
The Indian army on Wednesday launched 'Operation Sindoor', hitting 'terrorist infrastructure' sites in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack that claimed the lives of 26 civilians. Amid this, a Pakistani journalist has shared a video linking it to the recent strike by India. However, the video is old and shows a bombing in Gaza. Old footage falsely presented as Operation Sindoor. (Screengrab) 'Indian attack in Bahawalpur,' Sabir Shakir, whose X bio says he is a journalist with a popular Pakistani channel, wrote. The video shows bombings carried out at night. A quick Google reverse image search revealed that the video is not from Pakistan and is not recent. It was primarily shared in 2023 by KABUL NEWS, reporting that it shows an incident from Gaza. 'Israel intensified its bombing of Gaza last night. According to Palestinian media reports, 400 people, including women and children, lost their lives in last night's bombings, and hundreds more are still trapped under collapsed buildings,' read the caption of the post shared in 2023. What did the Pakistani man share? The video from 2023: Social media had a lot to say about the post. While many pointed out that the video is old and from Gaza, some suggested verifying sources before posting. An individual wrote, 'This is fake.' Another added, 'Gaza ki video hai ye bhai.' About Operation Sindoor: PIB issued a statement at 1:44 am on May 7 titled 'OPERATION SINDOOR: INDIAN ARMED FORCES CARRIED OUT PRECISION STRIKE AT TERRORIST CAMPS.' 'A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.
