GHIAL Complaint Leads To Case Over Fake Haunted Airport Videos
HYDERABAD: A representative of GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL) has filed a complaint with the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport police station alleging that certain YouTube creators circulated fabricated videos portraying the airport as haunted.
Based on the complaint, police registered a case on March 25 under Sections 353(2) (statements conducing to public mischief) and 351(3) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. An investigation is underway to identify those responsible.
Videos used manipulated visuals, says complainant
In the complaint, the GHIAL representative alleged that two videos uploaded on separate channels used “deceptive and manipulated” visuals to mislead viewers and suggest paranormal activity at the airport.
The complainant said such content could spread rumours, cause panic among passengers, and damage the reputation of a critical national infrastructure facility. He urged police to take appropriate legal action against those involved.
Links shared; past incident cited for context
The complainant submitted URLs of the videos to the police as evidence. He also cited media reports about a YouTuber’s arrest by Goa police in 2025 for allegedly spreading similar rumours about an airport there.
Police said efforts are on to trace the creators and verify the origin and intent of the videos.
