हमे खुद को भारतीय कहने में शर्म आने लगी गई,हम एक ऐसे देश में रह रहें, जहां की सरकार बलात्कारियों को आजादी दे रखी है वो भी ये आजादी सिर्फ हिंदू लड़कों के लिए है,बिहार की एक मुस्लिम लड़की को हिन्दू लड़का जंगल में लेजाकर रेप कर रहा,लड़की= मत करो भइया हम आपकी बहन बेटी की तरह है,😭😭 pic.twitter.com/qQzzixYvpd

What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact

This is an old video from Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh, where three men, Muhammad Aqib, Muhammad Nazim, and Muhammad Chhotka, raped a girl in 2019. Following the arrest of each accused, action was taken. The old incident is unrelated to Bihar or the rape of Muslim girls by Hindus.

We visited abp Live, which published an article on this incident on September 26, 2019 with the headline ” कौशाम्बी के ‘कलंक’ का तीसरा आरोपी चढ़ा पुलिस के हत्थे, नाबालिग के साथ बनाया था रेप का वीडियो”. Another article was also posted by bhaskar, which also shows that the incident was posted 4 years before with the headline “दुष्कर्म मामले में फरार चल रहे 25 इनामी बदमाश को पुलिस ने मुठभेड़ में गोली मार किया घायल”.

abp Live clarified the incident in detail and it shows that the incident is not at all recent, and has nothing to do with the case of rape of Muslim girl by Hindus in Bihar. Each of the accused were arrested by the Police in this rape case.

Intent:

Propagandists are circulating old videos with false claims to set their propaganda based on religion. It has been reported that a Muslim girl in Bihar was raped by Hindus in a recent incident, based on a disturbing video that shows a girl being harassed by two to three men. But, after proper research, analysis and fact-checking, we have discovered that this video, which dates back to 2019, shows three men named Muhammad Aqib, Muhammad Nazim, and Muhammad Chhotka, who raped a girl in Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh. A decision was made, and all of the accused were placed under arrest. There is no connection between the old incident and Muslim girls being raped by Hindus in Bihar.

‏

Conclusion:

Claim : A disturbing video of a girl being harassed by 2-3 men has been shared, with claims that a Muslim girl was raped by Hindus in Bihar recently.

Fact : In actuality, this is an old video from Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh, where three men—Mohammad Aqib, Muhammad Nazim, and Muhammad Chhotka—raped a girl in 2019. All of the accused were arrested, and action was taken. The incident occurred many years ago and has nothing to do with Bihar or Hindus raping Muslim girls.‍
