The Indian media has no knowledge of aviation and doesn't know how to report on this industry.

I remember, at the peak of the fake pilot scam, a certain news channel has
playing in the background, as the reporter spoke of the scam. The video is actually a Dutch Hieneken Ad. The channel conveniently used the landing shown in the video to misguide public as to something that a 'fake pilot' might end up doing/done.

I am certain that after watching this said video on the news, a large population of nervous flyers must have decided against their next flight - Scared ****less as they say.

Don't completely believe what the Indian media says. Not just aviation, they don't know how to report on anything accurately. They literally try to make a saas-bahu soap out of every other happening that is report worthy.
