After the Taliban seized Kabul, various social media posts in connection with Taliban and the present situation in Afghanistan have flooded social media. One such video doing the rounds is of some armed men dancing together during some kind of celebration. It has been claimed that the men in the video are Talibani militants who are celebrating after capturing Kabul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is one such link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, at Fact Crescendo English, decided to do a fact check on the claim as it seemed suspicious. We soon found out that the particular viral video is at least 4 months old and has no connection with the present situation in Afghanistan. The particular video has been uploaded and shared with a false claim taking it out of context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, we used the In Vid- WeVerify tool to split the viral video in keyframes after which we used the keyframes to perform a reverse image search on Yandex. We found that the video was uploaded to Instagram around 4 months ago in the month of April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we ran a keyword search and found out that the same video was uploaded by a Youtube Channel named Qaiser Khan on April 10, 2021 and it has around 37 thousand views so far. In the caption and the description of the video, it has been mentioned that it is actually of a pathan dance at a wedding celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
