Where are these pictures from? Is this claim true?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the last few days, multiple reports have simultaneously emerged from various parts of the country that rumours of child abduction gangs being active and lurking resulted in a spate of lynchings. These incidents occurred in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu<\/a>, Karnataka<\/a> and Uttar Pradesh, among other states. Police has also arrested some people<\/a> for spreading rumours and creating a fear psychosis.<\/p>\n

Alt News searched for these pictures online using the Google reverse image search option. We could not find results for some of the photographs. However, for one of the images showing cardboard boxes carrying what appear to be human bodies, we found that this photograph is of the victims of a helicopter crash that took place in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh in October, 2017<\/a>. Five air force and two army personnel were killed after an MI 17 helicopter crashed on October 6. Numerous media reports had outraged over the use of cardboard\u00a0 boxes for transporting the bodies of the defence personnel owing to lack of body bags in the area. An excerpt from an article by The Wire<\/em><\/a> is posted below along with the image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The photograph of five arrested men has been circulating on social media and WhatsApp with varying claims. Some of these messages claim that this is a child abduction\u00a0 gang from Tamil Nadu while others claim it is from Karnataka. A report by The News Minute<\/em> <\/a>has stated that Bengaluru police has clarified via Twitter that these pictures are fake. Alt News however could not independently verify where these pictures are from.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For another set of photographs which show women lying in a pool of blood inside a room, the search result took us to a blog page dainikswaraj.blogspot.com<\/em><\/a>. These photographs were posted on this page on September 29, 2015 in an article which claimed that this is the handiwork of some members of the transgender community in Mumbai. Alt News could not verify this claim independently. However, the fact that images are present on the Internet since 2015 proves that these cannot represent any current event as it is being claimed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another image search took us to an article published on a Telugu website on May 22 2018, in which it is stated that rumours have been circulating via WhatsApp that\u00a0fiery demons are out on the streets killing people and eating their brain, heart and kidneys. One of the images posted above has been used in the article and shows that this image has been circulating with the rumour in Telangana.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another photograph again took us to a Telugu website in which an article with the title ‘Fake news in Telugu rumours lead to violence’. In this article dated May 20 2018<\/a>, a photograph is posted and it has been reported that this is part of a set of photographs circulating on WhatsApp with the claim that these are child kidnappers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many of the social media and WhatsApp posts<\/a> also have a video along with the several images that have been debunked above. This video was circulated<\/a> just a few days ago claiming that these are Muslims rioting in Birmingham whereas the image was actually football related vandalism in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In May 2017<\/a>, rumours over WhatsApp about a child abduction gang has resulted in the lynching of seven people in Jharkhand. The same pattern is now being witnessed at multiple places. The menace of misinformation has now reached a point where people are lynched on the street over such rumours. A conscious and sinister attempt to create fear psychosis among the masses has resulted in shocking incidents of mob violence in recent times. The nature of the WhatsApp platform with its end-to-end encryption makes it impossible to find the origins of such dangerous rumour-mongering, presenting a formidable challenge to law enforcement authorities as such posts spread widely in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
