Walking on her feet, looks all okay: Army officer’s fiancée CCTV footage sparks controversy over assault claims

New Delhi: A recent incident involving the fiancée of an Army officer has sparked significant discussion after social activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj shared a video online. The footage shows the woman at a hospital, seemingly in good health following a medical checkup on September 15.

Deepika posted the video on the social media platform X, highlighting the condition of the Army officer's fiancée. In the video, she is seen walking unaided and appears to be in good spirits. “She’s walking on her feet. Looks all okay. No fractures apparent. Confidently talking,” Bhardwaj noted in her post. This portrayal raises questions about the timeline of events leading to her current situation.

Questions surrounding the incident

The incident in question involves allegations of a brutal assault that reportedly left the woman in a wheelchair. However, the video casts doubt on these claims, prompting viewers to ask, “When exactly then did the brutal assault happen which landed her on a wheelchair?” 

Bhardwaj’s post has drawn attention to the discrepancies between the reported assault and the evidence presented in the video. The apparent contradiction between her hospital visit and the claims of her needing a wheelchair has fueled ongoing discussions about the circumstances of the case.

A third user of X platform named Shreenidi wrote, "this is incorrect. assault need not be brutal enough to require a wheelchair. imagine you’ve been through severe trauma, sitting down and giving a press statement is less stressful than walking and standing and handling press. sitting down in a wheelchair in hospital environment means they can move you around easily, faster and safe way to wherever they want to give you right treatment. glad she is doing okay and stood up against injustice. if she is faking it, where is the statement from accused? forget evidence there is not even basic rebuttal from accused afaik."

this is incorrect.
assault need not be brutal enough to require a wheelchair.
imagine you’ve been through severe trauma, sitting down and giving a press statement is less stressful than walking and standing and handling press.

sitting down in a wheelchair in hospital…
