Publisher’s rating: False. मेरठ में स्विमिंग पुल के पास हुई हत्या घटना में नहीं है सांप्रदायिक एंगल। घटना के वीडियो को कुछ लोग हिंदू की हत्या बताकर वायरल कर रहे हैं। जबकि दोनों ही पक्ष मुस्लिम थे।

The viral video shows a recent 2024 incident from Madhya Pradesh’s Indore where a few Muslim men’s hands were tied with ropes and paraded semi-naked by the police for throwing stones at Hindus on Bakrid
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review says the video shows an incident in Indore from September 2023, not a recent 2024 event. It reports that police said the men had thrown stones at each other during an altercation between two groups, not at Hindus on Bakrid.

Köln hat eine Vergewaltigungsverbotszone eingerichtet.
Publisher’s rating: Die Überschrift ist manipuliert. Die «NRZ» hat über eine neue Waffenverbotszone am Wiener Platz in Köln berichtet. Vergewaltigung ist in Deutschland verboten, eine Vergewaltigungsverbotszone daher Unsinn.
The purported newspaper headline announcing a rape-prohibition zone was manipulated; the actual NRZ headline concerned a weapons-prohibition zone in Cologne. The review says the screenshot was altered by replacing “Waffenverbotszone” with “Vergewaltigungsverbotszone.”

Fact check: Knife crime has risen by a third since 2010
Publisher’s rating: The claim about the size of the British population is largely borne out by official statistics, which show a rise of nearly five million from 62.8 million in 2010 to 67.6 million in mid-2022. With a net migration figure of 685,000 across 2023 as well, this is justifiably “almost six million”. The statement about knife crime is less straightforward. Data from the Office for National Statistics show that knife crime has risen since 2010 by about a third. These statistics reflect violent crimes committed with knives or similar weapons, and show that the number has also reduced from a peak in 2019/20.
