A video of the pilot of an Indian Air Force jet that crashed in February has been falsely captioned online to say it depicted a pilot captured by Pakistan during its conflict with India in May.

Hours before New Delhi and Islamabad agreed to a ceasefire that brought a halt to days of intense fighting, a video was shared in posts falsely claiming it showed an Indian air force pilot who ejected from their plane and landed in Pakistan.

As arch-rivals India and Pakistan exchanged tit-for-tat missile, drone and fighter jet attacks across their shared frontier, a video was shared in posts falsely claiming it showed a downed Pakistani pilot being cared for by Indian civilians.
