ভিডিঅ'ত গ্ৰেপ্তাৰ হোৱা লোকজন দিল্লী সংঘৰ্ষৰ অভিযুক্ত মহম্মদ চিৰাজ

Publisher’s rating: False

The claim concerned a viral CCTV-style video said to show Gujarat Crime Branch officers arresting Mohammad Siraj, who was described as an accused in the Delhi riots. Fact Crescendo reports that it investigated whether the person in that video was Siraj and concluded that he was not. The report instead identifies the arrested man as Kirit Panchal. (The review describes the claim and its conclusion in Assamese.)

Afghanen begehen überdurchschnittlich viele Straftaten.

Publisher’s rating: Afghanische Staatsbürger sind bei Delikten wie beispielsweise Vergewaltigung und Mord überrepräsentiert, wie Kriminalstatistiken aus den Jahren 2019 und 2020 zeigen. Bestimmte Faktoren beeinflussen aber Studien und Experten zufolge die Statistiken – wie groß dieser Einfluss ist, lässt sich nicht sagen. Zu diesen Faktoren gehören eine andere Anzeigebereitschaft von Gewaltopfern bei Fremden, die Alters- und Geschlechtszusammensetzung von afghanischen Staatsbürgern und eine mögliche statistische Unschärfe bei der Ermittlung der Kriminalitätsbelastung. Signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen der afghanischen Staatsbürgerschaft und bestimmten Delikten lassen sich nicht feststellen.

a monkey hugging an old woman while she was lying on a bed was shot in Jamsande village in Konkan

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerned a video of a monkey embracing an elderly woman on a bed, said to show an incident in Jamsande village in Konkan. The accompanying story said the woman had regularly fed the monkey and that it came to visit because she was ill. The review examined that specific video and claim, rather than a separate monkey encounter: it describes the woman on the bed, the monkey embracing her, and a woman standing nearby, and notes that readers had submitted the video for verification. The review reports that its investigators looked closely at the video and questioned whether the women’s clothing looked like it was from Maharashtra, then searched using keywords to establish the location. They found the same video shared by India.com’s Twitter account, which identified it as being from Phalodi, Rajasthan; the review also says India.com had published a story about it. Those location clues point away from the claimed Konkan setting. For further checking, the review reports finding a video published by a local Rajasthan web portal, News 24 Plus, featuring the elderly woman and her family. The woman identified as Bhanwari Devi described the monkey entering the house, sitting beside her, embracing her and running its hand through her hair. Her daughter-in-law said this was the monkey’s first visit to their home, that the family had not kept it, and that it had appeared unexpectedly. The review concludes that the incident was in Phalodi, in Jodhpur district—not Jamsande—and that the claims about regular feeding and a visit prompted by illness were not supported.
