However, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has issued a statement regarding the video, stating that it is not recent and it does not show a beggar from Pakistan.
The video was actually recorded about five years ago on a flight from Doha to Shiraz, according to the PCAA. The beggar in the video is an Iranian national. There is no connection between the video and Pakistan.
In addition, there is no such flight route as TG507 from Karachi to Bangkok, PCAA added. This flight route has been mentioned in some of the social media posts about the video, but it does not exist.
Thanks God. Our PCAA is doing good on security as it is not Pakistani case.
