FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked the above post, we found that the claim attached with the video is false.
On putting the keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search, we came across a similar video dated March 27th, 2018 on a YouTube channel ‘ATV News Kashmir’.
According to the description of the video, four residential houses were gutted in a massive fire incident at Lachipora Uri, in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
To verify, we did a Google Search with keywords such as ‘Uri’, ‘Residential houses’, ‘fire’ and we came across several news reports which confirmed that it was a fire incident and India Army didn’t set the houses on fire.
Hence, the above information proves that the claim attached to the viral video is FAKE.
