“The video shows a Pakistani train set on fire by the people of Jammu.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video dates back to 31 October 2019 and shows a fire on the Tezgam Express train in Pakistan’s Punjab province, caused by a gas stove explosion. The train, which runs between Karachi and Rawalpindi, caught fire while crossing through Punjab, Pakistan. It is not related to Jammu or hasn’t taken place in the aftermath of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Additionally, no credible reports confirm that a Pakistani train was set on fire by the people of Jammu.
