Explanation
Thanthi TV and Puthiya Thalaimurai news cards claiming that BJP Senior Leader H.Raja absconded after the Srivilliputhur Court issues an arrest warrant in the case of defaming Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment officials are viral on social media.
What is the Truth?
The claimed news cards are dated October 8 and when we checked both the channels no such news cards were found. When the claimed Thanthi TV news card is reverse searched, October 7 dated original news card with another news on H.Raja was found.
The original news card holds the news, “Srivilliputhur court issued an arrest warrant against H.Raja in the case of defaming Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment officials”.
The fake news card has different spellings for H.Raja on the same card. And the same news found in the Thanthi TV news card was edited in the Puthiya Thalaimurai news card also.
When we reached the Digital department of Puthiya Thalaimurai, “This is fake, we did not publish it”, they informed us. Moreover, H.Raja’s Twitter handle seems to be active.
Conclusion
The news cards that claimed H.Raja absconded after the Srivilliputhur Court issues an arrest warrant in the case of defaming Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment officials are edited and fake.
