Fact Check: Old video of man killed in land dispute shared as video of Jatan Saha's death during Bangladesh violence

  • Share

Summary

It is true that Jatan Saha, a resident of Cumilla's Titas Upazila in Bangladesh, was killed by a mob in Noakhali on 15 October. But this is an old video which is being shared with a false claim that it shows Jatan Saha's murder. 

On 13th April, the registrar of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research asked its employees and their families not to post any "anti-government" content on social media. Social media users mistook this as a direction from the Tata Group, alleging the involvement of Ratan Tata himself in this.

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, or TIFR, is a public, or government research institution located in Mumbai, under the umbrella of the Department of Atomic Energy of the Government of India.

Disgruntled Twitter users resorted to blaming Tata for prohibiting their employees from posting content that criticized the government.

In a tweet by @ashoswai where he asks "Do they also employ family members?" regarding this issue, Twitter user @Matinde19122360 replied "Tata's are government slave", mistaking TIFR as a part of the Tata Group.

Twitter user @shaunakhub accuses Tata of "taking it to a whole new level" sarcastically commenting "Jamshedji would have been really proud!" in a Tweet.

Meanwhile, @Sagar4000 sarcastically thanks Tata for reminding them that they are in a dictatorship.

@rupagulab tweets "Rotten Tata" as a wordplay on Ratan Tata, sharing the news in the process. Once again, the Twitter user misunderstands the involvement of Tata in this.

The Institution was founded on 1st June 1945 with support from J. R. D. Tata, then chairman of Tata Group, hence the name Tata has been used in the Institution's name. The Tata Group in fact does not have direct control over the employees of the TIFR, since it is a government-run institution.

In conclusion, having the name Tata in the name of a government institution is confusing enough that people are mistaking TIFR as a part of the Tata Group, or controlled by the Tata family in some way. In reality, TIFR is an example of one of the many philanthropic endeavors of the Tata family, but its employees are not managed by Tata in any way.
