An old video of a rocket launch has been circulating on social media platforms, claiming it to be of the launch of Chandrayaan-3 from Sriharikota. The video initially posted by a former ISRO official showed a rocket liftoff captured by a passenger on board a flight. It went viral soon.

The post by Dr P V Venkitakrishnan, retired Director of ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri, Nagercoil, claimed that the plane was flying from Chennai to Dhaka.

"Launch of Chandrayan 3 from Flight. Sometime after takeoff from the Chennai to Dhaka flight, the pilot announced, Watch this historical event," the now-deleted post read.

"How big the sky is... It's looking as tiny as Diwali rocket!! Amazing Shot!," wrote another user.

Another commented, "How come a passenger liner is in the air at an appointed time? Aren’t ‘No-fly’ restrictions imposed close to the lunch area? Curious!".

"I am getting goosebumps watching it, the live experience of watching it would have been a next-level experience. Amazing. A proud moment" wrote another netizen.

After taking down the tweet, Dr P V Venkitakrishnan while replying to another user's post clarified that the video was not shot by him and that he had received it on WhatsApp.
