“A******s of Thornton Reuters here is a lady who is ‘allowed’ 3 sips of water before being stoned to death. How safe is she, according to you ?<\/em>” An image is currently viral on social media with the aforementioned text, many of them misspelling “Thomson Reuters” as “Thornton Reuters”. This is in the aftermath of Thomson Reuters<\/em> releasing a report<\/a> which ranks India as the most dangerous country for women. In this particular image, a woman can be seen sipping water off a spoon with only her head above the ground and the rest of her body buried under. This image was shared by Gita Kapoor who is followed by PM Modi on Twitter. Alt News has documented multiple instances where Gita Kapoor has shared misleading information (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>).<\/p>\n
