Dr. Patra rubbishes charge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alt News searched English and Hindi publications for news reports in this regard, but could not find anything related to this allegation. Alt News then reached out to Dr. Patra who termed the allegation absurd. “I am contemplating defamation against verified handles and websites which are spreading such kind of unfounded, uncouth and untruth information”,\u00a0<\/em>he said.<\/p>\n

The Facebook page I Support Ravish Kumar<\/em> mostly posts anti-BJP content, and has been caught spreading misinformation in the past as well. Earlier this month, it posted a photograph of an elderly person<\/a> assaulted by the police in public, claiming it was an incident from Rajasthan wherein a farmer was beaten up after he failed to repay a loan. The image was actually from Gujarat and the person being beaten up was accused of raping his daughter-in-law.<\/p>\n

Social media is no stranger to misinformation of various kinds, but an allegation of rape is not only disturbing and serious but also libellous. The fact that it was posted by a popular page and shared thousands of times is testimony to the popular tendency of instantly believing information received on social media, especially if it concurs with one’s political values, beliefs and biases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
