FACTLYCrime & justice

A Mumbai businessman has been sentenced to life imprisonment and fined Rs. 5 crore by a special NIA court for threatening to hijack a Jet Airways plane.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says Birju Kishor Salla was sentenced to life imprisonment and fined ₹5 crore by the NIA Court in June 2019 over the Jet Airways hijacking case. But on 08 August 2023, the Gujarat High Court acquitted him and set aside that conviction, making the claim misleading as a current account of the case.

dpaPolitics & government

Poetin noemt Klaus Schwab een globalistische terrorist die de mensheid gevangen houdt, en zei dat zijn dagen geteld zijn.

Publisher’s rating: Nee, de uitspraken aan het adres van Klaus Schwab werden compleet verzonnen. In de bewuste toespraak van Poetin waarnaar verwezen wordt, is nergens enige vermelding van Klaus Schwab of het WEF te vinden.

The review reports that the transcript of Putin’s speech at the Valdai meeting contains no mention of Klaus Schwab or the World Economic Forum. It also says the alleged phrases about a “globalistic terrorist” and Schwab’s days being numbered do not appear in the transcript.

FACTLYHealth & medicine

A Hindu woman has given birth to 24 children.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review identifies the woman as Khushboo Pathak and says the interview was recorded after her video claiming to have 24 children went viral. Pathak explained that she acts in scripted comedy videos and that the claim was fictional; she has two children. The review also says she sometimes counts 22 plants with her two children as 24 children.

FACTLYElections & voting

A video of Trump warning about potential election fraud in the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, claiming that a resurgence of lockdowns and mandates to combat the spread of Mpox could be used as a tactic.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review finds that the video was recorded in August 2023 and concerned COVID-19, not Mpox. Trump argued that renewed restrictions related to COVID-19 could be used to manipulate upcoming elections; the video did not refer to Mpox.

2024 ජපානයේ සුනාමි තත්වයේ දර්ශන හුවමාරු වන්නේ 2011 වසරේ දර්ශන පෙළකි!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The video was shared as showing a major tsunami after Japan’s August 2024 earthquake, but the review says its scenes came from the 2011 tsunami and matched footage shown by TBS and MBC. It reports that the 2024 earthquake brought only relatively small tsunami waves to the coast.
