A video showing a boy washing apples in a sewer in Pakistan is shared by Sudarshan News editor in chief Suresh Chavhanke.
The tweet by Suresh Chavhanke does not specify where the video is from but instead gives the incident a communal spin as done by him previously. This seems to be misleading, and intentional to create communal hatred between religions.
He has been doing communal propaganda multiple times. Here are the few articles exposing him:
- Sudarshan News and its history of dangerous, communally-divisive misinformation
- Sudarshan News top editor does it again, now calls for economic boycott of ‘rioters’
- Old Picture Used to Falsely Claim ‘KCR Distributing Ramzan Gifts’
- FAKE ALERT: Video of man mistaking thermal scanner for gun is from Kenyan comedy programme
FACT CHECK
A simple google search “video of boy collecting apples from gutter” gave the result of BOOM Fact Check done in September 2018. The fact-check of the video captured in August 2018 shows that the boy in the video is speaking in Pashto, a language spoken mainly in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
