Fact Check: Old photo from Gujarat shared as visuals of mosque demolition in Uttar Pradesh

  • Share

Summary

An old photo of an excavator demolishing the structure of the mosque from Ahmedabad, Gujarat is now falsely shared as the image of a mosque demolition in Uttar Pradesh.

Fact Check: Mufti Raees Ahmed Qasmi gave his statement to the media in a video on 2019 from Dehradun.

His provocative speech was in response to the mob lynching of Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand the same year. Since then, the video has gone viral a few times.

In 2021, the man was falsely labelled as a member of the Aam Aadmi Party. This was debunked by various fact-checkers like Newsmeter and The Logical Indian.

The video again went viral on April 19, 2022. Twitter handle @VikramMittalBjp shared the video, identifying the man as "Shaher Qazi Delhi", and asking if this is why '@ArvindKejriwal has increased their salary 3 times since coming back to power?'.

https://twitter.com/VikramMittalBjp/status/1516342664857149440The video also has the website name "www.bharatpositive.in" written at the bottom, but no such website was found on a search.

In conclusion, no, the man in the video is not the Qazi of Delhi, but of Dehradun, giving provocative statements about a different issue, not the recent Jahangirpuri violence issue.
