A photograph of a man, woman and infant hanging dead from a tree has been widely shared on social media. The accompanying claim suggests that the family committed suicide out of hunger during the lockdown imposed to tackle coronavirus. India has been under complete lockdown, barring essential services, since March 25. This has now been extended till May 3. The lockdown has stranded migrant workers across the country without a means to get home or regular meals.<\/p>\n

The image has been shared with the claim that the family was travelling to Gujarat’s Surat on foot. They committed suicide out of starvation, it adds. Below is a tweet by one Alok<\/a> shared with the caption, “\u0938\u0941\u0930\u0924 \u0938\u0947 \u0906 \u0930\u0939\u0947\u0902 \u0925\u0947 \u092a\u0948\u0926\u0932 \u092d\u0941\u0916 \u092c\u0930\u0926\u093e\u0936 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0939\u0941\u0906 \u0924\u094b \u0938\u0942\u0938\u093e\u0908\u091f \u0915\u0930 \u0932\u093f\u090f \u0907\u0938\u0915\u0940 \u091c\u093f\u092e\u094d\u092e\u0947\u0926\u093e\u0930 \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924 \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930 ….\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0927\u093e\u0928\u092e\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0940 \u0915\u0947 \u0930\u093e\u0939\u0924 \u0915\u094b\u0937 , \u092a\u0948\u0938\u0947 \u0926\u0947 \u0930\u0939\u0947 \u0939\u0948\u0902 \u0938\u092c \u0915\u0941\u091b \u0915\u0930 \u0930\u0939\u0947 \u0939\u0948\u0902 \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0930\u093e\u0939\u0924 \u0932\u094b\u0917\u094b\u0902 \u0924\u0915 \u092a\u0939\u0941\u0902\u091a \u0930\u0939\u0940 \u0939\u0948 \u0914\u0930 \u0905\u0917\u0930 \u092a\u0939\u0941\u0902\u091a \u0930\u0939\u0940 \u0939\u0948 \u0924\u094b \u0932\u094b\u0917 \u0906\u0924\u094d\u092e\u0939\u0924\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u092a\u0930 \u092e\u091c\u092c\u0942\u0930 \u0915\u094d\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0939\u0948\u0902.”<\/p>\n

\nOld, unrelated incident<\/h4>\n

A reverse image search revealed that the incident is unrelated to coronavirus and dates back to June 2018.\u00a0Lallantop\u00a0<\/em>had reported<\/a> on the incident when the photograph was viral with the false claim that a farmer had hung himself with his wife and children due to loan distress. In reality, the man committed suicide along with his wife and child because he couldn’t cope with the taunts of his family members. The incident took place in Maharashtra’s Vardha district. According to a policeman from Ashti police station, 37-year-old Anil Narayan Wankhede used to work as an electrician in a company in Madhya Pradesh. He lost his job as the company shut down, forcing the family to return to Anil’s parents’ house in Vardha’s Arvi village. They had nad been living with Anil’s parents and sister for more than two months amid constant taunts for his job loss. Neighbours also complained that they could hear the family getting into frequent brawls. One day, his father threw him out of the house with his wife and child. Anil did not want to shift to his in-law’s house and going back to his parents’ house was not a choice. He took his wife and child to a field, made them drink pesticide, then hung himself and them from a tree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The incident was also reported by Marathi media outlets\u00a0Ain News<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Dainik Bhaskar’s Divya Marathi<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore, a photograph from 2018 was falsely shared as that of a family which committed suicide in Surat due to hunger during coronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
