Fact Check: The truth behind the video of fruitseller accused for sprinkling urine on fruits

  • Share

Summary

The claim that a fruitseller in UP's Bijnore sprinkled urine on the bananas he was selling is false. However, the man comprised is charged for negligence as he compromised with hygiene and sprinkled dirty water on fruits he used for Istinja.  Istinja is the Arabic term for cleaning away whatever has been passed from the urethra or anus with water and toilet paper.

Many people on social media are claiming that Rahul Gandhi is married to a Colombian woman and has two children Naiyak and Mainak who stay in Britain.

Along with the post, people are sharing a picture of Rahul Gandhi with a woman.

Another user Sushil Kumar shared a year-old post by JP Chauhan who has attributed this claim to Wikileaks.

Fact Check

We did google reverse image search and found that it was an old picture and the woman in the picture is Spanish actress Nathalia Ramos. On September 14, 2017, she had tweeted her picture with Rahul Gandhi.

She had also posted the same image on Facebook with a caption "Last night with the eloquent and insightful Rahul Gandhi. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to meet and listen to so many brilliant thinkers from all parts and perspectives of the world. It is only with an open mind and open heart that we can really make the world a better place. Thank you Berggruen Institute for opening mine. #IdeasMatter".

We looked for the events in Berggruen Institute, we were able to find a video of the same event which was attended by Rahul Gandhi. You can see the video below:

Notice the dress worn by Rahul Gandhi which is the same dress he is wearing in the picture shared by the Spanish actress.

Talking about the actress her full name is Nathalia Norah Ramos Cohen and she holds a US citizenship and played the character of Yasmin in the 2007 film Bratz, which was nominated for 5 Golden Raspeberry awards in 2007.

Her lead role as Nina Martin in the 2011 Nickelodeon television series House of Anubis is also well-known. She also made an appearance in the music video for Prima J’s single “Rockstar”. 

Also, when we did a keyword search for Rahul Gandhi's marriage on Wikileaks, we didn't get any result. 

In conclusion, the claim that Rahul Gandhi is married to a Colombian woman and has two children living in Britain is false. The woman in the picture is a Spanish actress Nathalia Ramos and was clicked during an event at Berggruen Institute during Rahul Gandhi's two-week trip to the United States in September 2017.

Earlier, the same picture of Rahul Gandhi was shared on social media last month with the claim that he posed with a porn star.
