Days after an 11-year-old Muslim girl was abducted and raped in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh, Islamists on social media falsely blamed the Hindu community for the heinous crime.
They shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) and alleged that three Hindu men raped the underage victim. Popular OSINT handle ‘D-Intent Data’ on Saturday (4th May) compiled the screenshots wherein Islamists were seen claiming that Hindus raped an 11-year-old Muslim girl.
While peddling the fake news, the Islamists called dehumanising names to the Hindu community. One Haq Ali even went on to claim that Hindu gods are rapists. Contrarty to the social media claims, the perpetrator is a Muslim man named Nadeem.
