While giving Odisha train accident a communal angle, people on social media claimed that the station master of the Bahanga Bazar railway station (the nearest railway station to the accident side) is a Muslim identified as Sharif Ali and he fled the accident site.
The viral image is from Egypt and shows a man carrying a mannequin. No communal angle was involved in this case. Hence, the viral claim is false.
The image shows the ISKCON temple in the vicinity of the rail accident. The white structure is not a mosque as claimed by social media users.
The accused in the molesting incident are not from the Muslim community as is confirmed by Gaya Police. Three persons have been arrested for the crime.
We found that both images do not show hoardings and graffiti posted ahead of PM Modi’s Rajasthan visit. The images date back to 2019 and were shot in Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal respectively.
We found that the viral video shows a rehearsal of a play and not the training of girls to offer namaz. The Baghpat police and media reports confirmed that the viral video shows a rehearsal and not a situation with a communal angle.
The image shows Resham Khan, the victim of an acid attack, at the hands of John Tomlin, who was reportedly ’emotionally unstable’. The attack was also treated as an Islamaphobic crime by police.
It does not show one of the protesting wrestlers but rather Ranjit Singh, who was arrested during the farmers’ protest in 2021. The viral claim is false.
The video dates back to 2022 and shows women being rescued by YPJ forces, who were Yazidis.
We found that the video shows an objection raised by DMK MP S. Senthilkumar to Hindu religious practices at an even without the inclusion of other religious beliefs. The viral claim is false.
