The caption of the post in Marathi could be translated as: &#8220;Currently, a misleading creative titled &#8220;Waqf Board&#8217;s claim over Mumbai&#8217;s Siddhivinayak Temple&#8221; is going viral on social media, allegedly under the name of &#8216;Sakal&#8217;. However, Sakal has not created any such creative. Some individuals have used a template and logo similar to Sakal&#8217;s creative style to make this mischief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SakalNews\/posts\/pfbid0iW1xhQBcTXZuXSKa4nHiUMjBofxn1TYZXkNHFiM4H3SjGKoGWWjFrq5oJ9Lsuj6zl\" data-width=\"500\" data-show-text=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SakalNews\/posts\/1008644664643425\"><p>#fakenewsalert : \u0938\u0927\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0938\u094b\u0936\u0932 \u092e\u0940\u0921\u093f\u092f\u093e\u0935\u0930 \u2018\u092e\u0941\u0902\u092c\u0908\u0924\u0940\u0932 \u0938\u093f\u0926\u094d\u0927\u093f\u0935\u093f\u0928\u093e\u092f\u0915 \u092e\u0902\u0926\u093f\u0930\u093e\u0935\u0930\u0939\u0940 \u0935\u0915\u094d\u092b \u092c\u094b\u0930\u094d\u0921\u091a\u093e \u0926\u093e\u0935\u093e\u2019 \u0928\u093e\u0935\u093e\u0928\u0947 \u090f\u0915 \u0926\u093f\u0936\u093e\u092d\u0942\u0932 \u0915\u0930\u0923\u093e\u0930\u0947&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SakalNews\">Sakal<\/a> on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SakalNews\/posts\/1008644664643425\">Monday 18 November 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We also found a detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esakal.com\/viral-satya\/sakal-original-fact-check-about-siddhivinayak-mandir-waqf-board-social-media-viral-post-sk88\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fact-check report<\/a> by Sakal wherein they clarified that the viral post, which includes Sakal&#8217;s logo, alleging that the Waqf Board had claimed the Siddhivinayak Temple was false and had not been published by the outlet.
