The question is why havent the Islamic terrorists been arrested yet? (translation)” <\/i>tweeted a social media user, Ashutosh Snehsagar<\/a> on September 21, 2018.<\/p>\n

Along with the message, he has tweeted a video of a boy bleeding profusely. The video was originally posted by Breaking Tube<\/a><\/i>, a twitter handle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another Twitter user Pooja Singh<\/a> shared an article by Breaking Tube<\/a><\/i> which said, “Vishal Ojha, a class 6th student’s throat was slit by a pissful during #Muharram celebration in Deoria. His condition is critical now. By slitting the throats of Kafirs these people celebrate their festivals. Still festivals of Hindus are dangerous.”<\/i> Several other individual user have also tweeted the claim that the boy was hurt by sword (1<\/a>,2<\/a>,3<\/a>,4<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The article published by Breaking Tube <\/a><\/i>which we found to be the source of this claim interestingly contains a contradictory police statement saying, “…On this matter, police said that Vishal was injured by a tubelight explosion.”<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dainik Bharat<\/em><\/a>, a fake news website also wrote an article with a communal narrative.<\/p>\n

Clarification by Deoria police<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a statement given to Alt News, Circle Officer Varun Mishra of Deoria Police clarified, “Amar Ujala has misreported. We had also tweeted the details about the incident. His principal who\u00a0 was also present at the spot said he was injured in a tubelight explosion. It was unintentional and a<\/i>n<\/em> accident.” When Alt News spoke to District Magistrate Amit Kishore, he also corroborated that the boy was injured in a tubelight explosion.<\/p>\n

Deoria police has tweeted on September 21 that the boy seen in the video, Vishal Ojha had been injured after tubelight shards had slit his throat during a Muharram procession.<\/p>\n

Misreporting by media organisations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An article by Amar<\/a><\/i> <\/i>Ujala<\/a><\/i> with regard to the same incident was published with a misleading headline on September 21, 2018.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It stated, “At around 6:30 in the evening during a swordplay, a sword wielded by a young man slashed vishal’s throat, who was standing across the street. -translated”. <\/i>Incidentally, Amar Ujala<\/i> in its article did not report the statement by Deoria police.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Patrika<\/em><\/a> also reported that his throat was slit by a sword with a conflicting statement from the DM.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The reportage of Eenadu India<\/a><\/em> also stated the same claim based on the accounts of local residents with a differing police statement. \"\"<\/p>\n
