India Arrests Vlogger, Professor, and Others Over Alleged Pakistan Links
May 16, 2025PTA Denies Reports of YouTube Channel Blocking List
May 20, 2025A viral video shows an Indian Rafale fighter jet shot down by Pakistan near the LoC in Poonch. The video is from June 2024 and shows an Indian Sukhoi Su-30 MKI crash in Nashik, Maharashtra, due to a technical fault, not related to the current conflict.
Multiple Indian outlets, including The Hindu, NDTV, and India Today, confirmed the incident was a training flight accident, with both pilots ejecting safely. The video was falsely re-circulated during the May 2025 military escalation between India and Pakistan.
Although Pakistan’s military has claimed it downed three Rafale jets, this specific video does not depict any such incident.
