Twitter Slow Claps at News Channel’s AN-32 Alien Abduction Theory

Zee Hindustan has suggested that the missing IAF AN-32 was abducted by an alien spaceship.... yes, really.

In a misguided attempt to explain the Indian Air Force’s AN-32 aircraft that went missing recently, Zee Hindustan, a Hindi news channel owned by Zee Media, suggested that the aircraft was abducted by aliens. Yes, really.

With an animated screen in the background showing a UFO, a video of a news anchor from this channel has gone viral in which he is seen proposing this bizarre theory.

Watch the video:

Here is the Video of Indian Modia talking about missing IAF plane.

Now you know how this Dalal Modia got 140th rank in the world.

The AN-32 which was carrying 13 people is still missing. The Indian Air Force on Saturday, 8 June, announced a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh for any information pertaining to the whereabouts of the missing IAF AN-32 aircraft.

Twitterati hasn’t taken this matter lightly. While some are roasting the TV channel for lacking basic journalistic standards, some are pointing out the lack of empathy for the missing IAF men that such outlandish theories betray.

Hi @Zee_Hindustan @ZeeNewsHindi, please think of the 13 families still waiting for closure & clarity about their loved ones in the missing An-32 when you put together shows like this. (Also, that’s a C-130 in your background animation, not an An-32 🙄) pic.twitter.com/nn0er5ANJY

In 2016, AN 32 went missing with 29 IAF officers & was never found.

Now in 2019, AN 32 has again gone missing with 13 IAF officers.

And, our Media is discussing- whether aliens have hijacked AN 32 aircraft. What kind of journalism is this? Why can't aliens take away such Media?
