This video is from Andhra Pradesh and dates back to May 2025. The three youths seen in the video were accused of attacking Constable Kanna Chiranjeevi. Following a complaint filed by the injured police officer, a case was registered against all three. The police later detained the accused and assaulted them in connection with the same case.
वैसे तो मैं पुलिसिया कार्यवाही का समर्थक नहीं हूं, लेकिन ये सुवर कॉलेज के बाहर लड़कियां छेड़ते थे, इसलिए इन राक्षसों को मेरी तरफ से 20 लाठी मारो। 📍 आंध्रप्रदेश

रोजगार का सवाल एकदम जायज है पर @khurpenchh जी बताएंगे, कि 'प्रत्येक वर्ष 2 करोड़ लोगों को रोजगार' का वादा कब हुआ था, कहाँ हुआ था, कहीं कोई वीडियो है, मेनिफेस्टो में लिखा है?
हमारी सरकार आएगी तो प्रत्येक वर्ष 2 करोड़ लोगों को रोजगार दिया जाएगा। कोई भी बेरोजगार नहीं रहेगा।

यूपी के कानपुर में ड्योढ़ी गंगा घाट का यह प्रकरण किसी को दलित होने की वजह से नहाने से रोकने का नहीं है। दोनों युवक घाट के पास मछली पकड़ रहे थे, जिसका लोगों ने विरोध किया था। मंदिर क्षेत्र के आसपास मछली मारना प्रतिबंधित है। दोनों पक्षों में कहासुनी के बाद में मारपीट हुई। भगवा वस्त्र में डंडे से मारपीट कर रहा शख्स मंदिर का पुजारी नहीं हैं। पीड़ित ने संदीप उर्फ गोलू समेत अन्य खिलाफ केस दर्ज करवाया है। संदीप मंदिर की गौशाला में कार्यरत है, निषाद जाति से आता है।
भाजपा के राज में छुआ-छूत और भेदभाव बढ़ गया है। हज़ारों वर्षों के बाद अभी भी दलितों को गंगा में नहाने पर डंडा पड़ रहा है। ये अत्यंत शर्मनाक है।

Journalist @umashankarsingh has shared an edited Navbharat Times (NBT) postcard falsely attributing a statement to Rajnath Singh. Rajnath Singh never made the statement about the Strait of Hormuz shown in the viral postcard.

Aayush Malik confessed to have been influenced since school in 2012-13 & later saw Dr. Israr Ahmed's videos. UPA govt allowed Dr Israr Ahmed to give speeches in 2004-05, in India. Zakir Naik's Peace TV (banned in India in 2020) used to broadcast Dr. Israr's speeches regularly.
Shamli SP in a video to Aaj Tak Said, Ayush Malik might still be in touch with Religious scholar from Pakistan, Dr. Israr Ahmed. Israr Ahmad Passed away in 2010.

शंकराचार्य जयेंद्र सरस्वती को छोड़कर सभी शंकराचार्य अपने ही भाई-बंधुओ के मंदिर में प्रवेश के खिलाफ रहे हैं। आज भी इनके व्याख्यानों में इस तरह की बातें होती हैं, बस कानून के भय से बातों को घुमाकर पेश किया जाता है। लेकिन 'उनको' गले लगाने में कोई समस्या नहीं है, तब धर्म भ्रष्ट नहीं होता।

This video of the Iranian attack is not recent. The footage is from the March 1, 2026 escalation and is being falsely shared as a video of the current conflict.
🚨 SON DAKİKA: Haberlere göre İran, Tel Aviv'deki askeri hedeflere insansız hava aracıyla saldırı düzenleyerek birçok üssü imha etti ve 120'den fazla askeri öldürdü.

चाय ठंडी कर पीने की आदत छोड़ दीजिए, वक्त तेजी से बदल रहा है। हर मुद्दे पर इंतज़ार, हर चुनौती पर देर से प्रतिक्रिया और हर झूठ को अपने आप खत्म हो जाने की उम्मीद अब भारी पड़ रही है।

Hi @Iran_in_India @IranAmbIndia, Al Jazeera @AJEnglish has also published reports highlighting inflation, rising prices and the economic hardships faced by ordinary Iranians. Is Al Jazeera also affiliated with the 'opponents and adversaries of the Iranian people' like you claimed about Iran International @IranIntl_En ? Al Jazeera now part of an "anti-Iranian political agenda" too? @anjanaomkashyap
And here's another reports saying the same thing. This isn't even Iran International. A report by 'Didban Iran', an Iranian news outlet, documented through interviews with citizens and shopkeepers that the number of people buying food items on installments has doubled over the past two months. The report also stated that detergent, meat, rice, cooking oil, dairy products, and other everyday necessities are now being purchased on installments. Similar reporting was also published by Independent Arabia, which reported that even bread, cheese, and other basic food items in Iran are increasingly being bought on installments because of the economic situation. So how many outlets need to report the same thing before it stops being dismissed as "enemy propaganda"? @Iran_in_India @anjanaomkashyap

AAP leader Sakshi Bansal is spreading a fake claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Jeffrey Epstein's island 320 times. There is no evidence for this allegation, and no such reference exists in the Epstein documents. The bigger question is why the BJP continues to underestimate the impact of fake news. In 2024, the BJP suffered significant political damage from misinformation campaigns and fake narratives. Yet, even today, the party appears unwilling to treat fake news as a serious threat.

When an official embassy issues a response, isn't it your job to verify whether that response is actually true or not? Or do fact-checking standards suddenly change whenever a foreign government criticizes Indians? Reports about rising inflation in Iran, people buying basic necessities on installments, and the growing demand for second-hand appliances, furniture, and electronics were not created by Indian media. These are issues that have been reported by Iranian media outlets themselves, where ordinary Iranians have spoken about how inflation is affecting their lives. Reports have also stated that soaring inflation is forcing people to buy even basic food items on installments. In one report, a student said she had to buy a second-hand laptop because rising prices made a new one unaffordable. Other reports have highlighted how families are becoming increasingly dependent on credit and installment payments for everyday necessities. More importantly, in February, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei himself warned that further increases in bread prices could have "dangerous consequences" and said that Iranian society could not withstand another shock. When Iranian citizens, Iranian media, and even Iran's highest authority are acknowledging economic pressure, is an embassy statement targeting an Indian journalist enough to be treated as the ultimate truth? @Iran_in_India @anjanaomkashyap
