FACT CHECK REPORT

RSFC (Team Mohali) - Several twists and turns are unfolded in the controversy surrounding the no entry of a girl at Sri Harmandir Sahib a few days back. Not only the twists, there were lot of fake news went viral regarding the same as well. Amid all these social media things, a claim went viral that the Twitter account JIX5A is the account of the girl seen in the viral video and a picture went viral in which a boy and a girl can be seen on a scooter, attributed to the people seen in the viral video.

Punjabi journalist "Journalist Dharminder Sidhu" claimed that the account named JIX5A is the twitter account of the girl seen in the viral video.

Similarly, a user "Bhupinder Singh" shared both the claims.

This claim has been shared by many social media users. Post links of some such users can be seen by clicking here, here and here.

"The Spokesman thoroughly investigated these matters and found that the account named JIX5A does not belong to the girl in the viral video, nor does the viral picture belong to the people seen in the video."

Spokesman's Investigation;

We began to investigate these claims one by one:

A Twitter account named as JIX5A.....

According to the claim, we first visited this account. According to the bio available here, this girl is completely staunch Hindu and of Gujarati background and here she has written her location in England.

Going forward, we scanned this account. This account has clarified in its last few comments and replies that the girl in the viral video is not her. We also found that when this account shared the viral video, it was clearly written that a woman was stopped from entering the Darbar Sahib. If this girl herself was in the video, then she should have written clearly that she is herself in the viral video.

For final confirmation of this claim, we spoke to Rajeev Mehta, father of the girl seen in the viral video. While talking to us, Rajeev denied the viral claim and said, "This is not my daughter's account. My daughter does not use social media."

It's clear that the Twitter account named JIX5A does not belong to the girl seen in the viral video.

Viral Image

In the viral picture, a boy and a girl are seen on a scooter and they were told to be the people seen in the viral video, but when we reverse image searched the viral picture, we found that this case is from Karnataka.

We found a video of the incident shared on Twitter by an account named Akash Ashok Gupta. The account shared the video on 14 April 2023 and wrote, "Clearly, the couple says that if you have any issues understanding Hindi or English, you are ready to learn Kannada, but you cannot force it when there's no need. but the self-proclaimed language police in Karnataka, with no rationale says "We are Kannadigas only not Indians and if you are Indians, you can go to other states also". Rubbish and Shameful!"

Hence, it clears that this picture has no link with Harmandir Sahib matter.

Conclusion- The Spokesman thoroughly investigated these matters and found that the account named JIX5A does not belong to the girl in the viral video, nor does the viral picture belong to the people seen in the video.
