The brutal rape of an 8-year old in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh in June 2018 is being given a brazenly communal spin on social media. Thousands of users are sharing a message, according to which members of the Muslim community rallied on the streets of Mandsaur demanding that the perpetrator of the crime be released because the Quran sanctions rape of non-Muslim women. The message has spread like wildfire on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The message has been accompanied by a link to an article on a website www.indiaflare.com<\/em><\/a>. The title of the article is ‘\u0958\u0941\u0930\u093e\u0928 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0926\u0942\u0938\u0930\u0947 \u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e \u0915\u0940 \u0932\u095c\u0915\u093f\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0938\u0947 \u092c\u0932\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u091c\u093e\u092f\u095b, \u0907\u0930\u095e\u093e\u0928 \u0916\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u094b \u0930\u093f\u0939\u093e \u0915\u0930\u094b’ (Rape of non-Muslim girls valid according to Quran, release Irfan Khan- translation)<\/em> and is probably the source of this message which is circulating widely. In the article, there is a photograph which shows Muslim men marching on a street holding placards that say, ‘\u0907\u0930\u095e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u094b \u0930\u093f\u0939\u093e \u0915\u0930\u094b’ (Release Irfan).\u00a0<\/em>The article, published on July 1, has been shared over 16000 times till now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The article is a compendium of falsehood. There are a number of claims and allegations which are outrightly untrue.<\/p>\n

1. The picture is photoshopped<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The photograph posted above which shows Muslim men marching in support of the accused is photoshopped. Alt News did a Google reverse image search and found that while the march did indeed take place in Mandsaur, it was\u00a0in support of the victim and against the accused<\/em>. The original photograph is posted below.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Source: Jansatta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As can be seen, the text on the placard was tampered with. The original text says, ‘\u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0938\u0939\u0947\u0902\u0917\u0947 \u092c\u0947\u091f\u0940 \u092a\u0930 \u0935\u093e\u0930 , \u092c\u0902\u0926 \u0915\u0930\u094b \u092f\u0947 \u0905\u0924\u094d\u092f\u093e\u091a\u093e\u0930 ‘ (Wont tolerate attacks on daughters, stop this brutality- translation).\u00a0<\/em>In the photoshopped image, this was deviously changed to\u00a0‘\u0907\u0930\u095e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u094b \u0930\u093f\u0939\u093e \u0915\u0930\u094b’ (Release Irfan).\u00a0<\/em>Not only the first placard, but also the text of the placard held by the person marching behind has been tampered with. ‘\u0926\u0930\u093f\u0902\u0926\u0947 \u0915\u094b \u092b\u093e\u0902\u0938\u0940 \u0926\u094b ‘ (Hang the beast)<\/em> has been changed to ‘\u0930\u093f\u0939\u093e \u0915\u0930\u094b ‘ (release him)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2. Muslims have not taken out rally against the accused<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The article goes on to claim that no Muslim has descended the streets to ask for capital punishment for the accused, but have rallied in his favour, citing the Quran. It goes on to warn readers to not believe reports to the contrary which they may encounter on social media as they are untrue.<\/p>\n

This claim is totally false. Firstpost<\/em> has reported<\/a> that Muslim groups in the region have strongly condemned the incident and demanded harsh penalty for the accused. Some groups have demanded death penalty for the alleged perpetrator and appealed to not allow his body to be lowered in any graveyard in Mandsaur or Neemuch.<\/p>\n

3. Congress leaders have defended the rape accused<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The article further claims that Congress leaders have spoken out in defence of the accused. The website has also published an article<\/a> which claims that Congress leader from MP Jyotiraditya Scindia has said the two accused in the case are innocent and that a CBI inquiry be conducted. This too is false, but is being shared widely on social media.<\/p>\n
