An old video of BKS Iyengar performing yoga postures from 1938 is being shared with a false claim it shows Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing yoga.
In the wake of recent discussions over 'Love Jihad', a purported screengrab of ABP news report claiming the 'daughter' of Bharatiya Janata Party national spokesperson Sambit Patra has eloped with a Muslim man is going viral on social media platforms.
A Facebook user Raaj Preet shared the graphic with laughing emojis.
This post received over 100 reshares.
The viral screenshot has a logo of the Hindi TV news channel ABP Live and a ticker in Hindi can be roughly translated to 'Sambit's daughter does jihad...Sambit Patra's daughter elopes with a Muslim man'.
The image is being widely shared on Facebook.
In our investigation, we found this claim to be false. The viral screengrab has been created using a 'meme generator' website.
On seeing the viral picture carefully, it becomes clear that the viral screenshot is fake. In the viral picture, the logo of ABP News is in the middle of the right side of the screen, whereas in the original broadcast of ABP News, the logo is always in the top right corner. Also, a logo on the top right corner has been concealed by asterisk symbols. Below is the comparison.
On further checking, we found that the breaking news template had been created by using the 'Break Your Own News' meme generator.
With the help of this website, one can insert any image, give a headline and ticker of their choice, and create a 'breaking news' meme.
Hence, a fake screengrab of ABP news is being widely shared to falsely claim that Sambit Patra's daughter eloped with a Muslim man.
