A video showing a woman pouring urine into a glass of juice has been shared online with the false claim that it depicts a housemaid named Farida Khatoon caught mixing her urine in juice before serving it to the Hindu house owner of a Samajwadi Party leader. Some others circulated the claim that she is an Indian woman named Champa. However, according to media reports, this is an old video from Kuwait, where a maid was filmed pouring urine into juice intended for the head of the household. The identity of the accused woman was not disclosed, and the incident was reported in April 2016.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter) serial fake news peddler and propagandist account @RealBababanaras wrote, “Housemaid Farida Khatoon caught on camera when she was mixing her urine in juice before serving Hindu house owner. The house owner is being called a Samajwadi Party Leader. Trust me, you are just Kafir for them so choose your maid, servant, worker & assistant carefully.” Later, he deleted the post.
Another propaganda and extremist account @AsianDigest also shared the video and wrote, “Indian maid Champa adding Urine to Juice”.
Several other users, influencers and propagandists have also disseminated the video and made similar claims. Their posts can be seen here, @FrontalForce, @MithilaWaala, @manoj_begu, @MrNationalistJJ.
The truth about the video about woman mixing urine, Fact Check
As soon as the posts containing the sensitive video and claims came to our attention. Subsequently, we conducted research and analysis of the video. We found that the video was not from India but an old incident from Kuwait.
To verify the claims made by users and propagandists. We performed a reverse image search of some key frames from the viral video using Google Lens. This led us to several media reports containing the same video. According to the media reports (1, 2), this is an old video from Kuwait, dating back to April 2016, where a maid was filmed contaminating juice intended for the head of the household. The identity of the woman in the video was never disclosed.
Therefore, it is evident from D-Intent Data’s Fact Check that the video was old and unrelated to India, the Samajwadi Party leader and the Indian maid.
