Fact Check: Did Priyanka Gandhi snub rape survivor's request for justice in her rally in Mathura?

  • Share

Summary

The Hindi channel Republic Bharat published a report falsely claiming that Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi ignored an alleged rape victim's request for justice. 

Recently, a video has surfaced on social media showing a policeman being thrashed by a group of people inside a mall with a communal claim that an official named Salim was caught stealing three shirts. 

A Facebook user shared the video with the caption in Hindi that can be roughly translated to, "Salim's cinema was.
Lucknow: A policeman went shopping in a mall and got thrashed after getting accused of stealing. Salim hid three shirts under the uniform in the trial room, Jihad in every form, everywhere."

The same video is viral on Twitter and Facebook with the same caption. 

The truth behind the claim 

In our investigation, we found this claim to be false. Though the video is recent and shows an incident that recently took place in Lucknow, however, the name policeman who is being thrashed is not Salim. 

With the help of reverse image search, we found this video carried in a report by Navbharat Times that was published on February 26. According to the report, a constable, who was identified as Adesh Kumar, was caught by the employees while allegedly stealing clothes at the VMart Mall in Hussainganj, in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow.

As per a report published in Hindi daily Amar Ujala, the policeman hid three shirts underneath his police uniform in the trial room and when he tried to exit, an alarm at the gate alerted the employees. When a fight broke out, the Hussainganj Police reached the spot to resolve the matter, and the constable paid for the shirts thereafter and has been suspended by Lucknow Commissioner of Police after the matter came to light.

In conclusion, a video showing a constable being thrashed by a group of people for stealing is being shared with the false communal claim that his name is ‘Salim.’
