Ravish Kumar has not made any such statement and he has clarified this on his Facebook page. He says, “There are various rumours being spread in my name with regard to the Ghazipur rape case. What is being circulated on social media are not my words and can never be. IT cell is making this (fake message) viral to provoke people against me. You can see a sample of this, and also of the abuse. Then think what could be the motive of this political culture” (translated)<\/em>. Ravish Kumar has posted this viral image himself in his clarificatory post.<\/p>\n

Ravish Kumar has often been on the crosshairs of right wingers. We had earlier seen how various rumours were spread in his name. Alt News had reported how a stranger was presented as Ravish Kumar’s sister<\/a> and misinformation was sought to be circulated about him. He is often at the receiving end of abuse<\/a> on WhatsApp. Alt News had also reported about the people who had targeted Kumar systematically on WhatsApp<\/a>. He would forcibly be added to groups even after he had left them. When he had expressed his anguish about the abuse he had received, a person named Niraj Dave messaged him on WhatsApp saying, “I am sad you are alive”.<\/em> This Niraj Dave was earlier followed by the Prime Minister. In this WhatsApp group was also present Nikhil Dadhich who had made a venomous comment on Gauri Lankesh’s death<\/a>. Dadhich is followed on Twitter by PM Modi and Piyush Goyal.<\/p>\n

Ravish Kumar had also posted a list of phone numbers from which he regularly gets abuses and threats, on his Facebook page. There are some phone numbers from abroad as well.<\/p>\n

Alt News appeals to readers to not instinctively believe the statements that are often attributed to public figures on social media. Earlier as well, fake quotes ascribed to Kumar have been circulated. In case readers come across statements attributed to Kumar, they can verify the same on the official Facebook page<\/a> of the journalist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
