New Delhi (Vishvas News). After the crash of an Air India plane in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, many videos went viral on social media, which proved to be fake after an investigation. Now, a video is going viral on social media with the claim that a plane has crashed at Agra Airport.
Vishvas News investigated the viral video and found it to be fake. This is an AI-generated video.
What is going viral
An Instagram user posted a video on July 1, 2025, claiming it to be from Agra and said, “A big incident happened at the Agra airport. It is being said today that a fire broke out due to a spark prepared during the landing.”
The content of the viral post has been written as it is. Many users are sharing it from their accounts, believing it to be true. The archived version of the post can be seen here.
Investigation
Vishvas News first used the Google Open Search Tool to investigate the viral video. Upon searching with relevant keywords, we did not find any credible news that could confirm the claim. If an aeroplane had crashed anywhere in Agra, it would have made the news. We did not find any news during the investigation.
Taking the investigation forward, we scanned the viral video and noticed the words Extreme Drive written on it. Based on this, we started searching for the handle named ‘Extreme Drive’ on Instagram. We found the viral video uploaded here on May 1. Many users called it an AI-generated video in their comments.
During our investigation, we found this video on several platforms. This video has gone viral on Instagram and YouTube, circulating with varying claims on different dates.
To verify the viral video claimed to be from Agra Airport, we contacted our partner Deepfakes Analysis Unit (DAU). The DAU team analysed this video using several tools, which confirmed the possibility of it being created by AI. According to the DAU expert, “Two things become clear after watching the video carefully. The logo of the alleged plane on its tail does not resemble any known airliner. The use of vague words in place of the logo may be the fault of the generated video. Similarly, the windows of the plane were seen shaking unnaturally, which is not natural. They change their shape when the plane falls down. All this shows that the viral video is not real.”
AI detection tool WasitAI indicated this video to be ‘AI-generated’..
Vishvas News furthered the investigation and contacted Pratik Kumar, Senior Journalist, Dainik Jagran, Agra. and shared the viral post with him. He confirmed it to be fake and said that no such accident has happened in Agra.
At the end of the investigation, the user behind the fake post was identified. The Instagram handle, created in 2020, has over 800 followers.
Conclusion: Vishvas News investigated and found that the viral video is fake. No plane has crashed in Agra.
