Steep descent, then fireball: New video captures moment Ajit Pawar's plane crashed

Mumbai/New Delhi — A video circulating widely on social media that claims to show the plane of Ajit Pawar making a steep descent before erupting into a fireball is false, according to confirmations from party officials and government sources. Authorities said there has been no aircraft crash involving Ajit Pawar, and no such incident has been reported by aviation regulators or emergency services.

The clip, which has been shared with captions asserting it captures the moment of a fatal crash, has not been linked to any verified incident in India. Officials urged the public to rely on authenticated information and avoid amplifying unverified content.

No Crash Reported by Aviation Authorities

India’s civil aviation ecosystem maintains mandatory reporting for accidents and serious incidents. As of Wednesday, no notice, alert, or preliminary report has been issued indicating a crash connected to Ajit Pawar. Party representatives reiterated that he is alive and that claims of a crash are baseless.

Local administrations also confirmed there were no emergency deployments—such as fire services, police cordons, or hospital advisories—that would accompany an aviation disaster involving a public figure.

Origin of the Video Remains Unverified

Media analysts who reviewed the circulating clip noted the absence of time, location, aircraft registration, or corroborating eyewitness accounts—details typically present in genuine crash footage. Without such identifiers, the video cannot be authenticated. Officials did not specify whether the footage may depict an unrelated incident from another country or an older event.

Authorities said they are monitoring the spread of misinformation but have not announced any investigation into the origin of the clip at this time.

What Is Known and What Is Not
