Against the backdrop of the Shraddha Walkar murder case, a gory video showing injury marks on the body of a girl and a boy being arrested by the police is widely shared on social media with a communal spin claiming that this incident happened in Madhya Pradesh.  

The video is shared on Facebook with a caption: “मेरा अब्दुल वैसा नही है मेने उसके नाम का टैटू भी करवाया है में मुस्लिम बनने को भी तैयार हु उसी ने उसका रेप कर के काट दिया ताजा मामला MP” (English translation: My Abdul is not like that, I have also got his name tattooed, I am ready to become a Muslim, he raped and killed her, in the latest case MP)

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING. 

Performing a Reverse Image Search, we found a website called Documenting Reality, where excerpts from the viral video can be seen. The video is said to be from Colombia, where a man attacked his ex-partner because she didn’t want to live with him again.

According to another report, published on El Haraldo  a Spanish media website, dated November 16, 2022, a man named Jesús Salvador Tovar has been arrested for stabbing his ex-partner Sandra Milena Altamar Ojeda in the Colombian city of Barranquilla. The incident occurred while a hearing was underway in the La Paz District Court. Many media organisa- tions have published news regarding this incident, which can be read here and here.

Also, a tweet by CTV Barranquilla, dated November 16, 2022, describes that the incident is from the city of Barranquilla in Colombia, where a man stabbed his ex-partner during a court hearing. It has also been told that the woman who was seriously injured in the attack was sent to the hospital.

In Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, a young man uploaded a video on social media after killing a girl. The police arrested the youth named Hemant Bhadane, a resident of Maharashtra in Rajasthan. Abhijeet was living in Jabalpur’s Mekhla resort by showing a fake identity card in the name of Patidar.  

Thus, it is now clear that the viral video is from Colombia, not Madhya Pradesh.
