Multiple media outlets like PTI, Times Now, Deccan Chronicle, Livemint reported the same. The reports contained an image of a package wrapped in blue plastic.
However, as we investigated, we came to know that the claim was misleading. The Faridabad Police refuted the claim. Here’s the fact check.
Fact Check
We started our investigation by conducting a reverse image search. This led us to an Instagram post on 11 November 2025. The Instagram handle belongs to the same “Praffulgarg” whose tweet went viral. The Instagram post contained a screenshot of a tweet from the Faridabad Police that read, “A misleading news story is being circulated in the media that explosive material has been found in the Se. 56 Fari. area.
This material is firecrackers used in weddings and marriages and their raw material; it has no connection with terrorist activities. The Faridabad Police refutes this, do not spread misleading propaganda.”. The caption of the Instagram post read, “I reported this incident with a clear PTI picture. Sorry for this news, have found this so deleting the last one and posting this. @ptinews_multimedia please check this As your page is still showing this news!”
Taking this clue, we conducted a relevant keyword search that led us to the tweet, on the official X handle of the Faridabad Police, refuting the viral claim.
Conclusion
From our investigation, we can say that the claim is misleading. As claimed, Faridabad didn’t seize a massive cache of explosives from a rented house in Sector 56. Refuting the claim, Faridabad Police said that the package contained firecrackers and raw materials used in weddings.
