\u2014 Prashant Patel Umrao (@ippatel) June 18, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fake news website Postcard news ran a story on similar lines, however, the only source cited for the alleged ‘Rs 20 lakh offered to speak against Modi’ was Patel\u2019s tweet.<\/p>\n Sensational!!! Rohit Vemula’s mother reveals how the Muslim League promised her to give Rs 2 lakh to speak against PM Modi, and finally cheated her<\/p>\n https:\/\/t.co\/Urh56xK6eg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Post Card (@postcard_news) June 19, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alt News also found what looks like a newspaper clip circulating an indentical story. However, we could not trace its origin, suggesting that the clip might have been manufactured to resemble a Hindi daily.<\/p>\n Alt News contacted Radhika Vemula who told us that the claims on social media are false and completely baseless. \u201cMuslim League did not offer me any money to speak against Modi. Any amount of money cannot change what I feel about the current government,\u201d <\/em>she said.<\/p>\n Days after HoU research scholar Rohith Vemula hung himself from a hostel room, IUML had promised the family Rs 20 lakh toward building a house. \u201cWhen we were young in age we lived at our grandmother\u2019s house and later my mother moved to a small rented accommodation. A home was always our dream,\u201d<\/em> Raja Vemula, who always lived with his mother and two siblings in single-room houses, told The Hindu<\/a> <\/i>in 2016.<\/p>\n In a Facebook post on June 18, Rohith\u2019s brother Raja Vemula claimed that \u201csomeone hacked into his Facebook account\u201d<\/em> to defame his mother by saying that she accepted money from IUML, Kerala to speak against Modi.<\/p>\n Posted by Raja Vemula<\/a> on\u00a0Monday, 18 June 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n On June 16, 2018, an article published in The News Minute<\/em><\/a> quoted Radhika Vemula alleging that IUML went back on its word and used them only for political gains. One of the cheques worth Rs 2.5 lakh offered by the Muslim League bounced, she said. A day after the article was published, according to a report in News18<\/em><\/a>, Radhika Vemula denied any such incident and echoed General Secretary of the Youth Wing of Kerala unit of Muslim League CK Subair\u2019s statement that the cheque bounce was a mistake and it was rejected due to \u201cclerical errors\u201d.<\/p>\n Radhika Vemula\u2019s conflicting statements in the past few days caused a flurry, giving a few the opportunity to spread misinformation. However, she confirmed to Alt News that IUML only offered money toward building a house. \u201cWe were asked to look for land or property and IUML would bear the costs. We checked a few plots and informed the same to them. They sent us two cheques of Rs 2.5 lakh each as token money to hold the plot of land. However, one of the cheques had a spelling error hence, was returned when we went to deposit it in the bank. I first thought that it bounced and felt deceived, however, I was wrong as this was not the case.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Lawyer Prashant P. Umrao shot to fame<\/a>\u00a0over the case of the disqualification of AAP MLAs in Delhi. <\/em>He had in a tweet dated July 28, 2012\u00a0\u00a0attributed a fake quote<\/a>\u00a0to senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai, in which he had reportedly called for \u2018killing a 1000 Hindus\u2019. Sardesai filed a police complaint<\/a> against Umrao. Subsequently, he took personal digs at the journalist by spreading\u00a0fake news about his son<\/a>. Alt News has on numerous occasions called out Umrao\u2019s bluff<\/a>. In 2017, he had spread fake information that a Swiss couple in U.P was attacked by members of the minority community<\/a>.<\/p>\n Analogous to Umrao is Postcard news – a website at the centre of the business of circulating misinformation.<\/a> Recently, it shared a fake extract<\/a> from former President Pranab Mukherjee’s book. Postcard news founder\u00a0Mahesh Vikram Hegde was arrested<\/a> by the Karnataka police in March for spreading fake news. Ironically, a Postcard Editor was invited by\u00a0Republic TV\u00a0<\/em>to debate on the menace of fake news.<\/p>\n\n
