“The video shows a media interview of a terrorist who was caught alive by the Indian Army after the Pahalgam attack.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is from an incident that took place in August 2022 and is unrelated to the Pahalgam terror attack. It shows Tabarak Hussain, a Pakistani terrorist caught alive by the Indian Army after foiling an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri district, Jammu & Kashmir. Hussain, who sustained a bullet injury during the attempt, was undergoing treatment at an Army medical facility after being critically injured. He later died of cardiac arrest on 03 September 2022.
