Original review summary

FACTLY found that the video was unrelated to Ajit Pawar’s crash: it had been uploaded on 12 June 2013, well before the crash on 28 January 2026. The review says the footage shows a Boeing business jet in heavy rain, but notes it could not independently verify the recording’s exact location or time.[S1]
