Fact Check: This video of an Army chopper crash is from J&K, not Rajasthan

A video is making the rounds on the social media which shows injured crew members in a mountainous terrain being treated by military personnel and civilians.

It is being alleged that these are the survivors of the May 8 MiG021 crash in Rajasthan. Three people had died in the incident after the debris from the crash fell on them.

We also found a video on the YouTube channel of Greater Kashmir that had shared an extended version of the video on May 4. "Residents come to rescue of pilots, technician after army chopper crash lands in Kishtwar," read the description of the video.

In the video people, could be heard screaming. Another person is seen lying down on the ground unconscious.

The Northern Command of the Indian Army also tweeted a screenshot from the video on May 6 2023. The Army thanked the residents of the Machhna village in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar for helping in the rescue operation after an Army chopper crashed there. According to the tweet, the area in the video was located near the banks of River Marua in Kishtwar.
