On February 15, Delhi High Court lawyer Prashant Patel Umrao posted a picture of a woman with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with the message, “\u0906\u0906\u092a\u093e\u0930\u094d\u091f\u0940 \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f\u0915\u0930\u094d\u0924\u093e \u0928\u093f\u0915\u093f\u0924\u093e \u091c\u0948\u0915\u092c \u091c\u094b #Toolkit \u0914\u0930 \u0939\u093f\u0902\u0938\u093e \u092e\u093e\u092e\u0932\u0947 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092b\u0930\u093e\u0930 \u0939\u0948\u0964 (AAP activist Nikita Jacob who is absconding in the toolkit and violence case).” He claimed that the woman in the image is Mumbai-based lawyer-activist Nikita Jacob. A non-bailable warrant was issued against her in connection<\/a> with the toolkit shared by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg over the ongoing farmers’ protest.<\/p>\n

While Umrao later deleted<\/a> his tweet, a screenshot of the same is circulating on Facebook. A post by Facebook page I Support Yogi<\/a> with over 9 lakh followers has garnered close to 400 shares so far.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also posted the image with the same claim. He said<\/a> in a now-deleted tweet, “They are all together”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The image has been shared by several individuals on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not Nikita Jacob<\/h4>\n

Alt News found several tweets by Aam Aadmi Party workers that pointed out that the woman in the picture is not Nikita Jacob but AAP activist Ankita Shah.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ankita Shah had shared her image<\/a> with Arvind Kejriwal on Facebook on March 3, 2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moreover, a look at the Twitter profile picture of Nikita Jacob clearly suggests that there are obvious differences in her facial features when compared with AAP activist Aikita Shah.<\/p>\n

An image of AAP activist Ankita Shah was therefore shared with the false claim that she is lawyer-activist Nikita Jacob with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
