Viral Pakistani Beggar Video Turns Out to Be Fake

Recently a video went viral on social media which shows a beggar inside a plane, asking passengers for alms. Many people thought that this incident happened on a Pakistani flight. However, the truth is that it has no relation with Pakistan at all. The video clip was also picked up by some Pakistani news channels who didn’t bother to check the source behind it.

An official at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) confirmed that this event happened in a flight that was flying from Doha airport. Furthermore, the CAA issued a statement about the video and said that this incident did not occur at any airport in Pakistan.

About the Video

The viral video clip shows a beggar who somehow got inside an aircraft and started begging for money from other passengers. During the clip, the cabin crew are seen trying to stop him. A closer look at their uniforms clearly indicates that they belong to Qatar Airways.

A source in Qatar Airways also confirmed to ProPakistani that this incident happened during a flight from Doha to the Iranian city of Shiraz.
