However, when we looked for the video on YouTube with the keywords ‘Pak army dancing’, we stumbled upon a video, A page named ‘ Zee Creation’ posted the video on February 23, with the title,’ Pakistan Air Force Officer Celebration moments | Chita Chola Song’ and the description read – “Amazing moments of Pakistan Air Force airbase officer celebrate victory moments with staff on Chita Chola Song. #chitachola #dance #army . chita chola se dey darzi,chita chola see darzi full song,chita chola mujra”
Another link suggest that the video is of ‘Pak Army dance – After Surgical strikes on Chita chola’

Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was handed over to India at around 9: 20 pm on March 1st.
