A complaint has been filed with the Delhi Police against small time actress Swara Bhaskar, The Wire propaganda-journalist Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Twitter India Head Manish Maheshwari and one Asif Khan for spreading fake news and raising communal tempers in the Ghaziabad Abdul Samad assault case.
Swara Bhaskar has been caught on several occassions spreading fake news on twitter and trying to pass off general crimes as hate crimes against Muslims by Hindus, which incites communal tensions and riots other spreading baseless anti-Hindu propaganda.
This time around, CM Yogi Adityanath’s government has taken strong steps to nip in bud the fake news factory with mischievous intentions to cause communal riots before assembly elections, by filing FIR against Twitter, Alt News, Muhammed Zubair of Alt News, Sabba Naqvi, Arfa Khanum, Rana Ayyub, Salman Nizami, etc. for spreading fake manipulated video in the Abdul Samad assault case by deliberately giving a communal twist. Private citizens have taken initiatives to file police complaints against Swara Bhaskar who has been equally vicious and spreading anti-Hindu fake news propaganda and had been left out in the FIR filed by the UP police in the Ghaziabad case.
Swara Bhaskar had with impunity tweeted blatant falsity that the 72 year old Abdul Samad was beaten up and his beard was chopped off by Hindus for refusing to chant, ‘Jai Shri Ram’ despite the UP police debunking the fake news and revealing that Abdul Samad, an occult practitioner, was beaten up by his clients for giving amulets (Tabiz) claiming to work miracles which did not fructify. And there was no mention of Jai Shri Ram as the boys who beat up the old man were mostly Muslims.
She wrote on June 15th in the night on twitter, “ RW & Sanghis vomiting on my timeline ‘coz Ghaziabad police named 3 Muslims. Jackasses the prime accused is literally a Parvesh Gujjar. The main accused is on camera forcing the old man to chant #JaiShriRam. Yes it is a desecration of my God and my religion and I’m ashamed as you should be”.
The truth is that the video of Abdul Samad being beaten up was uploaded on social media mischievously without audio. So there is no such video in existence which shows the boys forcing the old Muslim man to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’. Moreover, when majority of the boys who beat up the old man were Muslims it beats common sense that why would Muslim boys beat up the old Muslim men to chant Lord Ram’s name?
The Ani stated in a tweet that, “Delhi police say they have received a complaint against actor Swara Bhaskar, Twitter India MD Manish Maheshwari & others at Tilak Marg Police Station in connection with an incident in Loni, Ghaziabad where a man was thrashed & his beard was chopped off. It is under inquiry they say.”
The Delhi police is inquiring into the matter and soon going to take legal actions against the fake news peddlers complained against, including the small time actress Swara Bhaskar, for trying to incite communal tensions.
