Gandhi&#8217;s photo with &#8216;Jyoti&#8217;, who is in a blue saree, led us to several news reports from 2018 in which a very similar image appeared. However, the woman in the photo is then-Congress MLA from Rae Bareli, Aditi Singh, not Jyoti Malhotra. Below is a screenshot from a report by <a style=\"background-color: #ffffff\" href=\"https:\/\/news.abplive.com\/news\/india\/congress-raebareli-mla-denies-marriage-rumors-with-rahul-gandhi-says-he-is-rakhi-brother-693222\">ABP News<\/a> dated May 7, 2018.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/2025-05-22-21_17_32-Congress-Raebareli-MLA-denies-marriage-rumors-with-Rahul-Gandhi-says-he-is-%E2%80%98rak-1024x845.jpg\" width=\"492\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking cue from the caption in the ABP report, we looked at Singh&#8217;s Facebook page, where she had shared the same photo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AditiSinghRaebareli\/posts\/pfbid0cS8sDSL7hT7xQV3RwchTdoR1eYEm8o7HTkb23F9iktGCmTgei8Bu7ztHvfkocDX1l\">in 2017,<\/a> wishing Rahul Gandhi on his birthday. Note that Singh resigned from Congress in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jansatta.com\/rajya\/raebareli-congress-rebel-mla-aditi-singh-joins-bjp-before-up-election-sonia-gandhi-constituency\/1932081\/\">2021<\/a>\u00a0and joined the BJP.

These original pictures from 2017 and 2022 have been digitally manipulated by superimposing Jyoti Malhotra&#8217;s face on others to make it seem like they had met before. Similarly baseless claims linking Jyoti Malhotra to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Samajwadi Party&#8217;s Akhilesh Yadav also did the rounds on social media.
