In the context of recent physical scuffle between Indian and Chinese soldiers across LAC near Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, multiple videos are being widely shared attributing them to the recent scuffle. Let’s fact-check the claims made in these videos.
Claim: Videos related to India-China fight at Tawang sector on 09 December 2022.
Fact: These videos are old. They are not related to the recent scuffle between Indian and Chinese Army that took place in Tawang Sector on 09 December 2022. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
