A video with disturbing images of a woman’s brutal murder is going viral on social media with Sudarshan News’ watermark.
Suresh Chavhanke, the Editor-in-Chief of Sudarshan News, shared the video and wrote, “She used to say my Abdul is different… Mother and father didn’t teach him, didn’t listen to friends, all Abduls are from the same factory.”
Other users have also tweeted claiming the same along with the link to Chavhanke’s tweet.
Fact-check:
To verify the authenticity of the viral video, DFRAC team watched it closely and converted some frames of it to reverse search in the internet. During this process, we came across several reports published by Colombian news websites, which have used the images of the viral video.
According to the report of website impactonews.co, on November 16, 2022, during a hearing of reconciliation in Barrio La Paz district court in Barranquilla city, Colombia, a man named Jesus Salvador Tovar was accused of stabbing his ex-partner Sandra Milena Altamirano Ojeda in front of the court officials. The woman suffered serious injuries and was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment. After investigating the matter, the accused confessed to the crime, and the judge ordered him to be arrested.
Other Colombian news websites also covered the incident.
Conclusion:
This fact-check by DFRAC confirms that the viral video is not from India but from Colombia. The incident took place in 2022, which makes the claims by Suresh Chavhanke and other social media users about “love jihad” and its link with India misleading.
