Claim: Visuals of two murders, presented as occurrences of ‘love jihad,’ that happened in Delhi recently (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-29)
Evidence (2023-05-29): While the second clip shows the recent incident of a Muslim youth murdering his girlfriend in Delhi, the first clip depicts a separate incident where a Hindu father murdered his daughter in Surat, Gujarat due to a dispute over sleeping on the terrace. The first clip is not related to any communal or religious conflicts. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.

Evidence (2024-10-06): The case was cited by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad as an example of love jihad, who demanded that the central government make laws to stop such incidents from happening, adding that they have recorded 420 incidents of love jihad in the past ten years from New Delhi alone. The group also decided to launch a campaign from 21 to 31 December 2022 to raise awareness about love jihad.[33] [...] - ^ "Delhi Murder: Aftab used to SLAP the severed head of Shraddha kept in fridge, Unlimited CRUELTY inside Hate Story 2022".

Evidence (2021-01-01): India’s ruling Hindu nationalist party has launched a legal campaign against "love jihad", a conspiracy theory that Muslims are luring Hindu women into marriage, that is shrinking liberties in a country that has long celebrated endogamy. But in some quarters, opponents are choosing to resist the divisive narrative and give love a chance.

Evidence (2020-12-08): Love jihad: The Indian law threatening interfaith love - Published [...] The bogey of "love-jihad", a term radical Hindu groups use to accuse Muslim men of converting Hindu women by marriage, has returned to haunt India's interfaith relationships. [...] In recent times Hindu nationalist groups have raised the bogey of "love jihad" ahead of elections to polarise voters. One instance was during local elections in Uttar Pradesh in 2014.

Evidence (2023-05-31): BJP has introduced the ‘love jihad’ angle in the brutal murder of a minor girl in Delhi, while police have not detected a new CCTV footage. [...] "Love jihad" is a term often used by BJP leaders and right-wing activists to allege a ploy by Muslim men to lure Hindu women into religious conversion through marriage. Tiwari also alleged that the killing was an outcome of "love jihad" and said it is necessary to find out whether any organisation is working to promote such incidents.
Claim: Visuals of two murders, presented as occurrences of ‘love jihad,’ that happened in Delhi recently (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-29)
Evidence (2024-08-25): Love jihad (or Romeo jihad)[5] is an Islamophobic[11] conspiracy theory[22] promoted by right-wing Hindutva activists.[25] The conspiracy theory purports that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islam by means such as seduction,[28] feigning love,[30] deception,[31] kidnapping,[34] and marriage,[37] as part of a broader demographic "war" by Muslims against India,[39] and an organised international conspiracy,[42] for domination through demographic growth and replacement.[46] [...] The fake claim by the Hindu right-wing that love jihad forces Hindu women to love and marry a Muslim man and convert to Islam is perpetuating an already existing anti-Muslim narrative in the country. The love jihad phenomenon has thus become a tool of hate and anger towards Muslims. Afrazul's killing by Raigher is an extreme demonstration of this form of hate and anger towards Muslims. [...] Vigilante action is targeted against what right-wing attackers describe as "love jihad," finding cause in the conspiracy theory of conniving Muslim men seducing gullible Hindu women into marriage and submission. "Love jihad" is a violent expression of the broader politics of regulating female sexuality—a core element of online Hindu nationalism manifest variously as shaming and abuse (Udupa 2017).

Evidence (2017-08-24): The Hadiya case and the myth of ‘Love Jihad’ in India [...] Far-right Hindu groups allege that "Love Jihad" is a conspiracy by Muslim groups to lure Hindu women into marriages with Muslim men and to convert them to Islam. [...] "There is nothing that proves that "Love Jihad" exists. It is a way to control women and to build up the bogeyman of evil Muslims," Charu Gupta, a professor of history at the University of Delhi, said.
Claim: Visuals of two murders, presented as occurrences of ‘love jihad,’ that happened in Delhi recently (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-29)
Evidence (2022-07-26): "Love jihad" is a term used by the Hindu political and religious right to describe an alleged phenomenon where Muslim men lure Hindu women into marrying them and converting to Islam. Hindu groups claim, without evidence, it is a conspiracy of an organised racket. [...] When asked about the targeting of Muslim men by Hindu right-wing groups in alleged "love jihad" cases, a New Delhi-based member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) who requested anonymity, told Al Jazeera: "I am not aware of any surveillance or involvement of Hindu organisations in such anti-conversion cases." [...] However, unlike other criminal cases in India, the burden of proof does not lie on the prosecution under the "love jihad" law. The fundamental legal maxim – innocent until proven guilty – does not hold true here.

Claim: Visuals of two murders, presented as occurrences of ‘love jihad,’ that happened in Delhi recently (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-29)
Evidence (2020-12-03): Critics have called it regressive and offensive, with many concerned that such laws will lead to misuse and harassment since "love jihad" has always been seen as a term used by fringe right-wing radical Hindu groups. It is not a term officially recognised by Indian law.

Evidence (2023-05-30): The horrendous killing of a 16-year-old girl Sakshi in Shahbad Dairy locality of Delhi, has shocked the nation. The visuals of the killer stabbing the girl multiple times and then crushing her head with a stone, as people looked on, has created fear in the minds of people. The question that frequently arises is: How can a person become so cruel and merciless? The brutal murder case of Shraddha Walker by her live-in partner Aftab Poonawala is yet to reach its conclusion in courts, the killer is yet to be sentenced, and now this fresh incident of brutal murder. The killer Sahil stabbed Sakshi with a knife multiple times and then smashed her head with a stone. For the police, this may be a case of murder, but for the society, at large, this incident can strike fear. Every parent today may be worrying about his or her daughter. They do not know what to do to protect their daughters. Going through details of this diabolical murder can make anybody’s hair stand on end.

Evidence (2021-10-10): The couples are fleeing laws that prohibit "unlawful" religious conversion in the context of marriage. Hard-line Hindu conservatives have labeled it "love jihad" — a conspiracy theory accusing Muslim men of wooing Hindu women to force them to convert to Islam. [...] "The term 'love jihad' is very dangerous, because once you get labeled like that, everyone starts looking at you with hatred. People think that you've wronged a woman from their community, so they want to punish you," Shameem says. "That's what makes it scary."

Evidence (2023-05-31): Two videos depicting gruesome incidents of murder are currently circulating, claiming them to be instances of ‘love jihad’ incidents that occurred within a week in Delhi. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: While the second clip shows the recent incident of a Muslim youth murdering his girlfriend in Delhi, the first clip depicts a separate incident where a Hindu father murdered his daughter in Surat, Gujarat due to a dispute over sleeping on the terrace. The first clip is not related to any communal or religious conflicts. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING. [...] Likewise, the second clip depicts an incident that occurred in Delhi’s Shahbad Dairy area on 28 May 2023. The incident involved the brutal murder of a 16-year-old girl named Sakshi, by her boyfriend Sahil, who is 20 years old. The incident took place in full view of the public. Sahil has been apprehended by the police and an investigation is underway. (Due to the sensitive nature of the matter, FIR pertaining to this incident has not been made public yet).
Claim: Visuals of two murders, presented as occurrences of ‘love jihad,’ that happened in Delhi recently (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-29)
Evidence (2021-02-19): The latest arrests come amid increased targeting of activists, academics, and other critics, by the government in recent years. The authorities have especially harassed and prosecuted those protecting the rights of minorities and vulnerable communities. BJP leaders and affiliated groups have long portrayed minority communities, especially Muslims, as a threat to national security and to the Hindu way of life. They have raised the bogey of "love jihad," claiming that Muslim men lure Hindu women into marriages to convert them to Islam, labeled Muslims illegal immigrants or even extremists, and accused them of hurting Hindu sentiment over cow slaughter. [...] In November, India’s Uttar Pradesh state government passed a law aimed at curbing interfaith relationships. The phrase "love jihad" is used by BJP politicians to promote a baseless theory that Muslim men lure Hindu women into marriages to convert them to Islam. The law, Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Ordinance, requires anyone wishing to convert to seek approval from the district authorities and carries a punishment of up to 10 years in prison for converting another person through coercion, fraud, misrepresentation, or inducement. While this law ostensibly applies to all forced religious conversions, enforcement has largely targeted Muslim men in Hindu-Muslim relationships.

Evidence (2022-01-22): According to India’s national investigation agency, there is no evidence for "love jihad", nor is it reflected in India’s population data, where Hindus continue to make up about 80% and Muslims 14%. [...] Agarwal pointed to a recent case of an alleged internationally funded "love jihad syndicate" in Bareilly, led by a local Muslim man, Syed Nizam, as proof of the problem.

Evidence (2023-05-31): New Delhi, 30 May: After a 16-year-old girl from New Delhi’s Rohini area was stabbed to death by a local man, the ghastly video of which was captured on camera and circulated widely on social media, the topics of ‘love jihad’, the Shraddha Walker murder case and The Kerala Story film have become talk of the town. [...] In the same breath, she mentions ‘love jihad’ and the Shraddha Walkar murder case, and says that "only Hindu girls are being killed". [...] While there were no media-persons in the colony at the time this correspondent visited, women in groups engaged in discussions about the case could be seen all around. Manju Yadav, who lives four-five houses away, said she saw the murder as a case of ‘love jihad’.

Evidence (2024-10-01): If the CAA and NRC resemble Jim Crow’s poll taxes and literacy tests in their intended effect of keeping a disfavored group from voting, the "anti–love jihad" ordinances of today’s India resemble the anti-miscegenation laws of the American South. Hindu nationalists have long pushed a conspiracy theory that Muslim men are seeking to lure Hindu women into marriage in order to swell Muslim numbers. Interfaith marriages, it is said, must be outlawed lest Hindus find themselves reduced to a minority. The strangeness of the math here—Hindus currently outnumber Muslims in India by more than five to one—has not stopped BJP politicians and ideologues from insisting that the love jihad is a real threat and trying to spread fear that the far-fetched scenario will come to pass. Several BJP-ruled states have passed measures to prevent Muslim men from marrying Hindu women, even if the desire to marry is wholly voluntary on the part of two adults.

Evidence (2024-03-18): "Cow protection" mobs. Hindu mob attacks have become so common in recent years that India’s Supreme Court warned that they could become the "new normal." One of the most common forms of anti-Muslim violence is vigilante groups attacking people rumored to trade or kill cows, which many Hindus believe are sacred. At least forty-four people, most of them Muslims, have been killed by these so-called cow protection groups, according to a 2019 Human Rights Watch report. Muslim men have also been attacked after being accused of "love jihad," a term used by Hindu groups to describe Muslim men allegedly trying to seduce and marry Hindu women to convert them. Hundreds of Muslim men have been arrested for violating anti-conversion laws that several BJP-led states passed in an effort to prevent love jihad.

Evidence (2024-02-26): The theories included "love jihad", an alleged phenomenon where Muslim men lure Hindu women into marrying them and converting to Islam; "land jihad", which alleges Muslims are occupying public lands by building religious structures or holding prayers; "halal jihad", which views Islamic practices as the economic exclusion of non-Muslim traders; and "population jihad", which alleges that Muslims reproduce with the intention of eventually outnumbering and dominating other populations.

Claim: Visuals of a crocodile letting a deer go after realizing it is pregnant (SOCIAL MEDIA POSTVisuals of a crocodile letting a deer go after realizing it is pregnant., 2023-03-13)
Evidence (2023-03-13): The video, filmed in 2017, shows a crocodile’s unsuccessful attempt to catch a male impala (not a deer) at Namibia’s Etosha National Park, dispelling any possibility of the impala being pregnant. As per the videographer, the crocodile probably released the impala because it was outside its natural habitat and unable to execute its deadly death roll on land. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.

Evidence (2024-02-09): A fleeting lapse in vigilance, a misjudged leap, and the predator’s strong bite ensnares its victim. With the crocodile’s formidable grip, the deer’s fate is sealed. The vegetation rustling in the wind stands as the silent witness to the struggle between life and death at the watering hole where survival hangs in a precarious balance.

Evidence (2022-10-07): Shared by an Instagram page named Wild Life Animall two days ago, the video shows the crocodile trying to be cunning by hunting a deer, but things did not go well for it as the deer can be seen escaping within a fraction of seconds. In the video, a deer is quietly sipping water from a river until a crocodile ambushes him so the deer don't notice it. The deer, on the other hand, felt the crocodile before seeing him. The deer leapt backwards at the same time the crocodile sprang out of the water to capture him with his formidable teeth. The crocodile's unexpected attack terrified the deer so much that it appeared as if the poor deer's spirit fled out of his body. The deer's reaction was the most unexpected aspect of the video, even though the crocodile was being stealthy so the deer wouldn't guess his next move.

Evidence (2023-12-04): The incident caught on camera shows a deer running for its life as a crocodile followed it to hunt it down. The deer, in an attempt to save its life, ran with all its energy to cross the river. On the other hand, the crocodile jumped at the deer to attack it. In the end, the deer successfully manages to cross the river and the crocodile appears disappointed. The bone-chilling video has been shared by an X user with the tweet, "What is life…never give up!" [...] The video shared on December 2 has received lakhs of views and many likes. The number has reached 8.3 million views with around 76K people liking the video. A few of the users also commented on the video and expressed their opinions on the same. One of them highlighted the perseverance of the deer as he said, "The antelope escape the Crocodile due to perseverance and never say die spirit." Another quipped, "The alligator came under the pressure to perform when he noticed the camera." A third quoted, "dramatic like an action movie, and the ending is quite beautiful." [...] While it was drinking, a crocodile jumped at the deer to launch an attack on it. However, the quick reflexes of deer saved it from crocodile which left no stone unturned to hunt the animal down and feed on it. The video amassed 1.5 million views with many dropping their comments on the same.

Evidence (2022-11-30): The rule of the jungle is clear – you have to be alert to survive because there is always a predator waiting to launch an attack. A video of a deer’s alternateness to escape what was almost a fatal attack has now wowed the internet. The clip, shared by IFS officer Dr. Samrat Gowda on Twitter, shows the animal miraculously escaping a crocodile’s attack while it was drinking water from a pond. In the footage, a deer is seen gently drinking water from a river before the croc hiding in the water launches an attack. However, it appears that the deer almost anticipated the move and jumps back in just the blink of an eye. The video moves forward to show the slow-motion version of the incident where the deer’s reflexes seem almost unreal.

Evidence (2023-03-27): A video of a crocodile catching what appears to be a deer-like animal and subsequently releasing it has been circulating on social media claiming that the crocodile set the animal free because it discovered that it was pregnant. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: The video, filmed in 2017, shows a crocodile’s unsuccessful attempt to catch a male impala (not a deer) at Namibia’s Etosha National Park, dispelling any possibility of the impala being pregnant. As per the videographer, the crocodile probably released the impala because it was outside its natural habitat and unable to execute its deadly death roll on land. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING. After conducting an internet search using relevant keywords, we came across a Daily Mail article published in November 2017 titled "Lucky impala cheats death as a crocodile inexplicably releases it from its huge jaws after snatching it by a river". The article featured a clear video that revealed the impala’s gender, as it had visible antlers indicating it was a male, thereby ruling out the possibility of it being pregnant.
