@pokershash, the co-founder of Fact Hunt<\/em>, tweeted<\/a> (archive link<\/a>) the viral image and said, “Someone send me this pic of back stage of Shaheen Bagh and told Kudrati Khana yaha se aata.<\/span>”<\/p>\n

\u00a0FACT-CHECK<\/h4>\n

Alt News performed a reverse image search on Yandex and found the viral image in an article<\/a> by lanhmanh.com<\/em>, a Vietnamese website. According to the website, the condoms were found in the garbage of male students. The article’s headline when translated to English reads, ‘Stunned at the shocking revelations about the “pink” life inside the male dormitory.’ The article is from three years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"Using this as clue, Alt News did another reverse image search on Google along with the Vietnamese keywords ‘bao cao su nam k\u00fd t\u00fac x\u00e1’ [Translates to male dormitory condoms]. We found the viral image on two more Vietnamese websites – baomoi.com<\/a> <\/em>and doisongphapluat.com<\/a><\/em>. The former website republished the latter’s article which was published on December 13, 2016. Thus, the viral image isn’t recent. Alt News couldn’t independently verify the location of the image but its existence on the internet since 2016 proves that it cannot be from Shaheen Bagh.<\/p>\n

The picture has been shared on social media with false claims to target the ongoing CAA protests in Shaheen Bagh. Prior to this misleading claim, several false claims have been shared to target the protests in Shaheen Bagh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
