Following the release of the film Dhurandhar 2, which features an Indian spy infiltrating Lyari's underworld in Pakistan, several videos circulated online suggesting heightened police checks targeting Indian operatives. However, fact-checks indicate these videos are older clips from routine Karachi Police operations dating back to mid-2025, unrelated to the film. Despite clarifications, the footage has sparked memes and jokes on social media, with users humorously speculating about spies among the police and locals.

Sentiment: The overall tone of the articles is neutral to mildly humorous, reflecting the viral nature of the videos and social media responses.
