Netizens heavily trolled Ghafoor for posting the doctored video with false information.

Asif this is a 3 year old video. Come on. How can you make such a mistake. This is unacceptable. You actually gave the credibility of your valid claim a big hit. As a PR professional I'm just shocked

You leave no stone unturned to advertise your incurable 'foot in mouth' disease. At your level, you should refrain from peddling amateurish morphed videos that make you a laughing stock on global platform. Kindly get a better video editor who bothers to edit out the giveaways.

  After receiving flak from people. Ghafoor acknowledged that the video was doctored. The clip of Air Marshal is revealed to be doctored through inset. Admission and expression were too identical to differentiate. Unintentional omission is acknowledged, especially to Indians. Nonetheless, environment remained unchanged for IAF on both the occasions,” he tweeted
