FALSE CLAIM, UNRELATED PHOTOGRAPHS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The claim that the Central government has ‘taken custody of mosques in Kashmir’, is utterly false. There has been no such development. Insofar as the photographs shared with this false narrative are concerned, Alt News found that they are old and pertain to separate incidents, none of which are in relation to Kashmir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alt News reverse-searched the above image on Google, and found a post on Tumblr<\/a> with this photograph, dated March 2019.<\/p>\n

PHOTO 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alt News reverse-searched the above picture and found a tweet by Shamli (UP) police which carried this photograph. According to the tweet, the photograph is representative of arrests which took place after a raid at a madrasa, in which forged documents, along with foreign currency and mobile phones were seized. The incident is of July 2019.<\/p>\n

The above photograph is from a raid which took place at a hotel<\/a> which was running an illegal arms racket, on the Ahmedabad-Rajkot highway in March 2016.<\/p>\n

Alt News reverse-searched the above image on Google and came across an article by\u00a0India Today<\/em><\/a> which stated that this photograph is actually from a \u2018kirpan\u2019 factory in Patiala, Punjab. According to the article, the photo is from the \u2018Khalsa Kirpan\u2019 factory in the city. Alt News contacted \u2018Khalsa Kirpan\u2019 factory and confirmed that the picture is indeed from the factory at Patiala.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the claim that the Central government has taken custody of mosques in Kashmir, is false. Moreover, the pictures circulated along with the claim are old and unrelated. Earlier, the same photographs were shared with the false narrative<\/a> that these weapons were seized from a mosque in Rajkot, Gujarat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
