Unrelated video viral with false claims to attack activist-lawyer"},"content":{"rendered":"

A video of a man dancing on a beach is being circulated with the claim that he is senior advocate and LGBTQIA+ rights activist Saurabh Kirpal, son of former Chief Justice of India (CJI) B N Kirpal.<\/p>\n

Some users directly named the lawyer as the man featured in the video, which they said, had been shot while he was on a vacation with his partner in Spain. Some others said that the man in the clip was the son of Supreme Court Judge ‘Kirpal Singh’ and that present CJI D Y Chandrachud had been hell-bent on getting homosexuality legally recognized so that he (Kirpal Singh’s son) can become a Supreme Court judge.<\/p>\n

Facebook user Hemsagar Desai shared the above-mentioned video on June 9 with a caption in Hindi that can be translated as: “This is Justice Saurabh Kirpal, son of Justice of B N Kirpal, who has been holidaying in Spain with his husband and for whose appointment as a Delhi High Court Judge the collegium has sent recommendation twice. And according to the rules, if the central government refuses to accept the collegium recommendation twice, the collegium can appoint him a judge by special power.” He further makes a homophobic comment against the senior advocate and questions what justice someone like him can provide. The post has been reshared 275 times.<\/p>\n

The user also attached a screenshot of a report by BBC Hindi<\/a> which said that the collegium had recommended the appointment of advocate Kirpal as a Delhi High Court judge and India could get its first gay judge.<\/p>\n

Such claims are also viral on Twitter. A user named \u0924\u094d\u0930\u093f\u0936\u0942\u0932 \u0905\u091a\u0942\u0915 \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@TriShool_Achuk) tweeted<\/a> a photo of Advocate Saurabh Kirpal on April 28 and wrote: “Bhupendra Nath Kirpal was the 31st Chief Justice of India from May 6, 2002, till he retired on November 7, 2002.” He then mentions that Saurabh Kirpal is the son of the former CJI and makes a derogatory comment about the advocate’s gender. Quote-tweeting<\/a> his own tweet on June 9, he shared the viral video and asked his audience to look carefully that the man dancing in the video was the same man. He also made derogatory comments against the apex court, the CJI and Advocate Kirpal. (Archive 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>)<\/p>\n
