Its a plane not a cricket ball, how can something this big can be hid from media, satellites (of west / china), locals with smartphones and the opposition (this would have been the biggest point for Modi opposition)
There are at least 3 different accounts of local Kashmiris (from the Indian Occupied side) that mention a jet flew from their side, went to Pakistani territory, and then came back immediately engulfed in flames and downed in their side of the territory.
Now, let me tell you something. I am also a Kashmiri living in Pakistan side and just 7 kilometers away from LOC. I know very well about population density on both sides of this particular LOC (you can look it up in satellite images).
Pakistan (our) side is densely populated right up to the neck of LOC, but on the other side which is Indian-occupied, there is very this distribution of locals or none at all near the LOC.
The reason,,,,, huge Indian army posts and a huge buffer zone for their side of the local population. So if any incident happens it is far less likely to capture and share by locals in the Indian-occupied side than to the Pakistan side. Also, we Pakistani Kashmiris have a lot more freedom and no censorship in the internet at all.
Now what happened that day, A SU30 was fired at near LOC and it turned its tail and try to escape, an AIM120c hit it on the engine area and it just managed to reach back Indian occupied side and was downed near IAF check posts. It was not a civilian area so escaped the leak through social media.
That also makes sense in the following points
1- A rescue helicopter of IAF flew towards the area (a suicide move in an aerial war-like situation). It was shot also, how that remains a secret, although SPYDER was blamed but that is not the case.
2- A highly notable Indian news channel announced Pakistan has shot their state-of-the-art SU30 MKI (the beans were spilled although later they removed it).
3- A jet downed on the Indian-occupied side cannot be a PAF F-16. If it was the case why India is not showing it ?
