False Government

Fact Check-

We started a reverse image search on Google whose results led us to the  facebook page of a news website named Voice Of Karachi, where the same video was uploaded on 9 August 2019 with a caption: “Pakistan Zindabad, Sindh police commandos.” 

Sindh Police Commando is the special security unit (SSU)is specialized counter terrorism and security unit of the Sindh Police in Pakistan, it is a Karachi based unit.

When we looked for more information, we discovered the same video on the Facebook page of Karachi Walay, a Pakistan-based news and media website. 

In 2019, a few other news websites published the video with a similar description.

Pakistan’s news channel Hum News uploaded a video of women commandos of Sindh Police getting trained. The women in the viral video wore similar coloured dresses.

Taking into account all of these information, it is clear that the viral video does not depict the Indian Army training women commandos.

Conclusion

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video to be False. The video does not show the Indian Army but it originally shows the training of women commandos of Sindh Police of Pakistan in August 2019.
