At the height of the India-Pakistan armed conflict, several Pakistani X accounts on May 10 shared a picture of a woman in army uniform. It was claimed by users who shared the photo that Pakistan had captured an Indian female pilot. X user Dr. Taha posted this picture with the same claim. (Archived Link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

X account Chand Sitara also posted this picture with the same claim. However, the user deleted the post later. (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another X account<\/span><\/a> shared this picture with a similar claim.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Numerous X users<\/span><\/a> also posted this picture taking a dig at India.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is the Truth Behind the Image?<\/h4>\n

While investigating the viral image, Alt News came across a video report by The News Minute dated June 1, 2023. The video contained visuals of the wreckage of a plane crash along with the viral image. According to the caption, the visuals depicted an Indian Air Force (IAF) Kiran training aircraft which crashed on June 1 in the Bhogpur village of the Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka. However, before the crash, flight instructor Wing Commander Tejpal and trainee pilot Bhumika were able to safely evacuate from the aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian Air Force had also tweeted about this on June 1, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A Kiran trainer aircraft of the IAF crashed near Chamrajnagar, Karnataka today, while on a routine training sortie. Both aircrew ejected safely. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Indian Air Force (@IAF_MCC) June 1, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Star of Mysore<\/span><\/a> published an article covering this and shared pictures of the incident, which also included the viral image.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PIB Fact Check<\/span><\/a>, the fact-checking wing of Union government’s press information bureau, shared a tweet explaining the truth behind the photo.<\/span><\/p>\n

To sum up, the viral picture is of an IAF aircraft crash that took place in a village in Karnataka on June 1, 2023.\u00a0 It is being falsely shared by Pakistani users who claim that a Indian woman pilot had been captured.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, another <\/span>video clip<\/span><\/a> was being widely shared with the same claim. In the video, a person is seen stuck in a tree with a parachute. Alt News found this clip in a post by Samachar First dated <\/span>March 16, 2025<\/span><\/a>. Hence, this clip also has nothing to do with the recent armed conflict between India and Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
