Explanation

After allegedly hitting BJP MP-elect Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh Airport, Kulwinder Kaur, a CISF constable, was suspended. Ranaut’s remarks on Punjabi women during the farmers’ protest are said to have sparked the altercation.

In this instance, a picture of Congressman Rahul Gandhi with Priyanka and his mother Sonia Gandhi has gone viral. It’s also noticeable that a woman is sharing the platform with all of these Members of Congress to take pictures. The woman’s face is encircled in red in the image, which has been posted on social media.

This post is shared with a claim stating, “Name them and Fame them. Recognized her as the woman standing with Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi & Priyanka Vadra. She is the same Kulwinder Kaur who attacked Kangna Ranawat Entire ecosystem of Congress is involved in Anti Indian & violent activities.”

Come, let’s check the authenticity of this viral claim.

What’s the truth?

We started our inquiry by employing pertinent keywords along with Google’s reverse image search. This led us to an Instagram account of Divya Mahipal Maderna namely @divyamadernaofficial.

We discovered from her bio that she is a politician and a former Rajasthan MLA.

Additionally, during our investigation of the viral post, we learned that it was published on February 14, 2024, the day when Sonia Gandhi, the head of the Congress Parliamentary Party, filed her candidacy papers in Rajasthan.

Because we identified two posts on February 14, 2024, as we browsed through the woman’s profile. In the first post, former MLA Divya greets Sonia Gandhi as she enters the Rajasthan assembly to submit candidacy paperwork. The second post features the widely shared image that has been incorrectly attributed to Divya, a CISF officer named Kulwinder Kaur.

For the benefit of the reader, we have also included a comparative image below showing Kulwinder Kaur, the CISF officer, and Divya, former Rajasthani MLA.

All this information clarifies that the viral image doesn’t show the CISF officer Kuwinder Kaur who slapped Actress turned MP Kangana Ranaut.

Conclusion:

The assertion that the woman posing beside Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Vadra is the same Kulwinder Kaur who assaulted Kangna Ranaut, as per the viral story, is therefore false and misleading. In reality, the picture features former Rajasthani MLA Divya Mahipal Maderna.
