Elastic search geo_distance query results not accurate

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am running a geo_distance query on an index containing about 20k documents. Mapping for this index has a geo_point type field. Results are coming out inaccurate. When I put distance as 1Km I am getting documents which are 4km away. What is wrong here? Please help.
Query:
GET branch-master-v2/_search?size=500
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": {
"match_all" : {}
},

            "filter": {
                "geo_distance": {
                    "distance": "1km",
                    "distance_type": "arc", 
                    "LOCATION": {
                        "lat": 72.8365072,
                        "lon": 19.0577397
                    },
                    "unit": "km"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "script_fields":{
        "distance" : {
                "script":"doc['LOCATION'].arcDistance(72.7967221,19.1020398)"
        }
    }
}
