SP Abid Khan, a Muslim police officer, assaulted a Hindu priest on Ram Navami in Madhya Pradesh.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review says the image showed an April 2020 incident at Devi Mandir in Dhekha, Rewa, during the COVID-19 lockdown. It identifies the officer as Civil Lines station in-charge Rajkumar Mishra, not SP Abid Khan, and says Mishra was line-attached after public outrage.
The video shows a young Muslim man vandalising a railway track on the occasion of Eid.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review says the video dates to January 2022 and shows students protesting alleged irregularities in the RRB NTPC exam in Sitamarhi, Bihar—not an Eid-related incident.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading
The review concludes that the circulated image was AI-generated, not a genuine photograph of the students involved in the Homagama case. It reports that police confirmed they had not released photographs of the students.
تداولت مواقع إخبارية وحسابات على منصات التواصل الاجتماعي خبرا أدعت فيه أن قوات الحزام الأمني بالعاصمة المؤقتة عدن احبطت محاولة اختطاف فتاتين، وقبضت على ثلاثة نازحين من محافظة الحديدة حاولوا تنفيذ عملية الاختطاف.
Publisher’s rating: مضلل
The review says the claim was misleading: it found no recent announcement of the arrest and traced the same details to an older report, which did not name the displaced people’s governorate. It therefore describes the claim as old rather than recent.

This collage shows a Dalit boy beaten for touching a water pot in Rajasthan
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
FACTLY says the collage is unrelated to the claimed Rajasthan incident: the photos show a 14-year-old boy tortured by his father in Yemen in 2020. It distinguishes those images from reports about a Dalit man beaten in Rajasthan after touching a water pot.

Publisher’s rating: مضلل
The review says the image shows the 2017 execution of Yemeni resident Shاهر أحمد قايد حسين in Al Qura, in Al Baha, and cites the Saudi Press Agency’s report of the execution. It says the image was shared on Facebook on July 3, 2017, alongside reporting about that execution.
