The video shared by BJP Bengal showing a poor man pleading for food is a propaganda video. Bengal police have clarified that man seen in the video is a local theatre artist and also released a video where the man reveals that he was asked to put off the act.
Recently, a collage of two images is being shared on social media claiming that a woman who prepared sehri (a pre-dawn meal consumed before fasting for the day during the month of Ramadan) for a Muslim girl was attacked by RSS members. The collage was shared by a Facebook page named Sach News Kashmir with a caption, “The RSS goons has attacked on a Hindu woman who attempt sehri for a muslim Kashmiri girl in recent days. India is occupied by RSS.they have full control over media,judiciary,law enforcement & national securities. Would this country remain stable if this remains carried on.!!!!”
At the time of writing this article, this post was shared more than 800 times.
This post is viral on Facebook and Twitter with the same claim.
A Twitter user named Imran Nazik shared the saying, "THE RSS goons has attacked on a Hindu woman who attempt sehri for a muslim Kashmiri girl in recent days. India is occupied by RSS.they have full control over media,judiciary,law enforcement & national securities. Would this country remain stable if this remains carried on.!!!!"
In our investigation, we found that woman seen in both the image are different, The woman with the wounded nose is not the same woman who is standing beside a girl eating food.
With the help of reverse image search, we found the first image of a woman making Sehri food for the Muslim girl that was shared on April 25 with a caption, “Ramzan Mubarak. Waqtay Sahar. NO VIRUS can deter us from sharing, caring, mutual love, and respect.”
When we used a reverse image search for the second image, we found it posted by many social media users in February 2020. A twitter user named Manish Pandey shared the image on February 24 claiming that the people were injured in Khambhat Gujrat.
Another user also shared the picture on February 23, claiming it is from Gujrat.
With the help of relevant keyword searches, we found a news report by TV 9 Gujrat in which they took an interview of the woman who got injured during communal clashes in Gujarat in the month of February earlier this year.
The video makes it evident that both women are different. The image of a woman who prepared sehri for a Muslim girl was shared during the Islamic month of Ramadan, which started on April 23 this year, whereas the image old injured woman is from February 2020.
In conclusion, the claim that a Hindu woman was attacked by RSS for helping a Muslim girl is false. The two pictures used in the collage are unrelated and both the women are different people.
