      Video On Kashmiri Pandits Massacre Is Not From A Pakistani Channel

      A video showing a man speaking to a news anchor is viral with captions falsely claiming that the clip shows a Pakistani man speaking about the 'Kashmiri Pandit genocide' on a Pakistani television channel.

      The clip is also being shared with another claim that 'a Kashmiri Muslim said sorry for the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus on a Pakistani channel.'

      BOOM found that the claim is false and the video was aired on a Kashmiri TV channel.

      Film director Vivek Agnihotri shared the same video claiming that a young Kashmiri Muslim is saying "sorry for the Genocide to all Kashmiri Hindus" on a Pakistani channel. The director, however, later tweeted asking about the veracity of the video.

      The video is viral in the backdrop of the recently released film The Kashmir Files. The film has created a lot of buzz and has triggered a flurry of misinformation.

      The viral video shows a man speaking to a news anchor. Speaking in Hindi, the man can be heard saying he was witness to the first major mass massacre of Kashmiri Pandits on 21 March, 1997. In the later part, he can be heard saying, "we should collectively apologise to the Kashmiri Pandits for the wrongs of the past."

      Vivek Agnihotri tweeted the video with a caption reading 'This young Kashmiri Muslim is saying "sorry for the Genocide to all Kashmiri Hindus" on a Pakistani channel. Acknowledging the Genocide and saying sorry is the first step to #RightToJustice. If someone knows this young man, Pl send my love and thanks to him'.

      Agnihotri later replied to the video saying, "I am told this is Kashmiri channel. Can someone confirm please? If true, I am sorry for misunderstanding."

      We checked Javed Beigh's Twitter handle and found a tweet with the same video.

      Beigh tweeted 'Dear Friends I am sharing video of my opinion that I expressed in Hindi on @AnnNewsKashmir on #TheKashmirFiles movie, brutal murder of our Kashmiri Pundit sister Girija Tikoo & unfortunate tragedy of forced exodus of our Kashmiri Pundit biradari. Sangrampora Beerwah Massacre'.
