Pictures of an injured woman are being widely circulated on social media. It can be seen in these pictures that the woman has bruises on her body and her eye is swollen and blackened.
Sharing three pictures, a Twitter user named Kajal Mishra wrote, “It is good to die as a convert, isn’t it? A communist Hindu girl named Ankita Vijay fell in love with Abdul and wanted to go to heaven, but Abdul showed her hell while she was alive. This is Hindu-Muslim love! Alive or dead, a Hindu girl suffers hell.”
Meanwhile, other social media users are reacting to this post.
Fact-check:
To verify the viral claim, the DFRAC team first reverse image-searched the concerned pictures on the internet. As a result, the team found this photograph in news reports published by several media houses.
Hindustan Times carried the headline, “Vishamakaran actor Anicka Vikhraman accuses ex-boyfriend of physical, mental abuse; shares pics of her bruises”
According to the report of News18, Malayali actress Anika Vikraman has made serious allegations of physical assault on her ex-boyfriend Anoop Pillai. The actress shared pictures of her injuries on social media, alleging that her ex-boyfriend Anup assaulted her. The social media post went on to say that she has lodged a report with the police.
According to the website gulte.com, the Malayali actress wrote in her Facebook post that she was in love with Anup Pillai. When Pillai first assaulted her in Chennai, he fell on his feet and apologized. But when he did it again, she lodged a complaint with the police.
Conclusion:
It is clear from media reports that the viral picture of Malayalam actress Anika Vikraman, which she shared on social media after she was assaulted by ex-boyfriend Anoop Pillai, has no communal angle. Hence the claim of social media users is false.
