FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, we found a tweet by Mike Sington — an American Entertainment journalist. Sington tweeted a video of the fight on February 3, 2023, informing that the brawl broke out on a flight to Brazil.
We could not see Urfi Javed throughout the video. Conducting a Google Keyword Search, we spotted a news report by India TV, dated February 8, 2023.
The video in the article matches exactly with the viral clip and it further informs that the fight took place on a GOL Airlines flight G3 1659, between Salvador (SSA) and Congonhas (CGH) in Sao Paulo. Two families fought each other for obtaining a window seat on the flight, which eventually led to a delay of two hours.
Similar videos have been published on ABP Live, Daily Mirror, and Terra, but nothing has been mentioned about Urfi Javed.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post’s claim is fake.
