Fact Check: Morphed image of AAP Gujarat Billboard Shared With a Communal Spin

  • Share

Summary

The picture of the billboard by AAP Gujarat that reads “Now Gujarat will read namaaz” is morphed.

Eid-ul-Zuha, also known as Eid-ul-Adha in Arabic and Bakra-Id or Bakrid in India, was celebrated throughout the world by Muslims on July 21. They also sacrifice animals which are known as Qurbani and distribute them among the poor.

After this, an image of a street filled with bloody water is getting viral on social media in the backdrop of the celebration of Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakra Eid with a claim that it shows a post-Bakrid scene in India.

A Facebook user name Hindu Boy shared a picture with a claim that the image is from India. 

Fact Check 

In our investigation, we found that the viral claim is misleading. This is a 2016 image from Dhaka in Bangladesh and the streets flooded with blood after Eid animal sacrifice.

After doing a reverse image search on Google, we found that the same image was published by several media reports in 2016 with the headline 'Rivers of blood in Dhaka'.

According to a BBC report published on September 14, 2016, the blood comes from animals sacrificed for the festival and had mixed with floodwater in parts of the Bangladeshi capital. Nearly 100,000 livestock were sacrificed in Dhaka on Eid al-Adha on streets and underground car parks in residential societies.

We also found a video related to the incident on a Youtube channel RT published on 15 September 2016. The description of the video reads, "The streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh have turned into 'rivers of blood' after floodwaters absorbed the bloody effluent from animal sacrifices marking the Islamic celebration of Eid al-Adha".

In conclusion, an old picture from Bangladesh has been falsely shared on social media with the claim of animals being sacrificed for Eid-ul-Adha on the streets of India.
