Fact Check: A video from 2018 falsely linked to the ongoing farmers' protestc

  • Share

Summary

An old-unrelated video from 2018 showing a man sprinkling water on wheat sacks is being falsely linked to the ongoing farmers' protest. 

A picture has gone viral on social media mocking supposed 'bhakts'. In the viral image, one can see a quote written on a wall in Hindi that can be roughly translated to, "Say from the womb, we are Hindus."(Garbh se kaho hum Hindu hain) A section on social media users is sharing this image saying that such 'bhakst' are illiterate who do not know the difference between 'pride'(Garv) and 'womb' (Garbh). 

A Twitter user shared the image with the caption in Hindi saying, "Do some studies bhakts, its 'garv' not 'garbh'."

Several other Facebook and Twitter users are also sharing this image with a similar caption. 

However, in our investigation, we found that the viral image is morphed. In the real picture, only 'pride' (garv) is written on the wall, not 'womb'(garbh). This picture is from Nalasopara in Maharashtra.

With the help of reverse image search, we found this image uploaded by a Facebook user on January 6. In this picture, 'garv' is written on the wall which has been digitally changed to 'garbh' is written on the wall.

On zooming this image, we noticed boards with 'Vidya Niketan' and 'Sankalp Tutorials' written on it. 

On performing keyword search, we found a found a picture on Just Dial.com which shows the "VIDYA NIKETAN" and SANKALP TUTORIALS " that are seen in the viral image. The board has the address of a housing society located at Nalasopara in Palghar, Maharashtra.

Along with this, a Shiv Sena board can also be seen in the picture. India Today contacted a Shiv Sena Deputy District Chief in Palghar, Naveen Dubey who confirmed that the picture Cooperative Housing Society located in Nalasopara East and that the image that is being shared to mock 'bhakts' is morphed. The quote 'Prouly say, we are are Hindus' is still written on the society's wall. 

In conclusion, the viral image showing 'Garbh se kaho hum Hindu hain' (Say from the womb, we are Hindus) is morphed.
