Fact Check: Video Challenges Reports of TTP Member Hidayatullah’s Death in Jandola
Jandola, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa | October 20, 2026
A video circulating online has challenged claims by several pro-state social media accounts that security forces killed a suspected Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) member, Hidayatullah, also known as Badri, during an operation in Jandola.
The individual appearing in the video identifies himself as Hidayatullah and states that he is alive, contradicting the earlier reports of his death.
The video’s recording date and the identity of the individual have not been independently authenticated. Independent verification is pending.
