ජනපති අනුර කුමාර සිය රාජකාරීන් සදහා සයිකලයක නැග පැමිණෙන අයුරුද ?

Publisher’s rating: Satire

The review says the image showed Dissanayake riding an electric bicycle during a visit to Ahmedabad, India, before he became president—not arriving for official duties. It reports that the circulating claim was false and that the image was from that visit.

FACTLY

A video shows a lathi charge during protests over a court-ordered survey at Jama Masjid, Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY reports that the video is from 20 December 2019, when police acted against protesters during anti-CAA protests at Nakhass Chowk in Gorakhpur—not protests in Sambhal. It says the Gorakhpur location and footage were corroborated by comparing the video with a contemporaneous news report. [S1: “The video dates back to 20 December 2019, when the police clamped down on protesters who threw stones at them during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests at Nakhass Chowk in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.”] [S1: “Upon comparing the two videos, we observed similarities in the location featured in both the viral video and the news report”]
