      Video Game Footage Peddled As Nepal Plane Making Emergency Landing In India
      A video culled from the video game Grand Theft Auto V showing a plane catching fire mid-air and making an emergency landing at a beach, is being peddled with a false claim that a Nepal plane made an emergency landing at an Indian airport.

      The video is being shared in the context of the deadly Yeti Airlines air crash in Nepal's Pokhara town on January 25, 2023 which killed 71 people, including five Indians. The crash is set to be one of Nepal's deadliest air crashes in three decades.

      The 12 minute long clip was shared as a Facebook Live, and shows an aircraft with the logo of FlyUS. The clip shows smoke bellowing from both engines of the aircraft.

      The video showing a plane crash after it sets fire as Facebook live footage.

      The video has been captioned as, “Nepal plane crash Emergency Landing in Indian Airports 2023”
