Claim: On 16th August 2019, four boys were used as human shields by the Indian Army against the stone pelters in Jammu & Kashmir.
Fact-check: An old video of security forces allegedly using a human shield against stone pelters is being shared as a recent incident - FACTLY
Verdict: it is an old video. all the major newspapers have written on this incident when the video went viral in june 2018. none of the official sources has confirmed the involvement of the indian army in this incident. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
