What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
We discovered that the entire narrative is fictitious. The picture featured in the article is not of Rajiv Chowdhury; rather, it is of Maninder Adama, who was detained in Fremont in 2017 on suspicion of recording a couple having sex on camera and then attempting to extort them for money. We discovered further and noticed that this news was originally posted on “ViralNote” online.
As that article was removed, we discovered Ted Bukowski, the ranch owner, in an image that was also fake and was taken from a 2005 video featuring well-known author American Rancher, Wayne Hage.
