The DFRAC team investigated the above viral news by searching some keywords on Google in the context of the above viral news. We found some media reports during this process.

Media Report from Document and India Today

We found a recent media report by the Norwegian newspaper website ‘Document‘. The media report stated: “ The Police’s Immigration Unit is not aware that Salwan Momika has been found dead in Norway.
