The aircraft claim shows how quickly a true visual detail can be attached to a false location. One circulating photograph shows a person standing on a fighter aircraft with firelight behind it. Other posts recast that scene as protesters burning an Air Force base or attacking Jalandhar Airport. Reporting from the campus identifies a decommissioned aircraft mounted there as a display; students also climbed a decommissioned tank at the gate. A photograph of a plane, even a dramatic one, cannot supply the missing evidence of an airbase attack. indianexpress.com
The walkie-talkies produced a second leap. Their presence raised questions during the unrest, and those questions deserved investigation. DIG Naveen Singla subsequently told The Indian Express that police had identified the carriers as Army officers and personnel who came to collect the child of an officer. That account does not settle every complaint students have made about campus security. It does, however, directly contradict posts presenting those particular men as proven hostel intruders. indianexpress.com
What the frightening footage does—and does not—tell us
A clip described as showing girls running up hostel stairs conveys urgency and fear. It cannot, on its own, identify who frightened them, establish that an assault occurred, or prove that anyone entered their rooms. Equally, the absence of a confirmed assault in the preliminary police account does not make their fear imaginary. Reports say students sought stronger security in girls’ hostels, greater accountability from hostel officials and restrictions on male staff in residential areas. Those are concrete demands that the university should answer in public, alongside the findings of the criminal inquiry. indianexpress.com
