DECADE-OLD PHOTOS OF WOMAN’S CORPSE FALSELY SHARED AS ‘LOVE JIHAD’ INCIDENT FROM
ASSAM

[Warning: This article contains visuals that may be disturbing to readers.]

A collage of photographs featuring a naked female corpse inside a freezer has
been making the rounds on social media. It has been claimed that the woman named
Kajal was in a relationship with a man named Ghaffar. Furthermore, it is alleged
that she had been raped by seven Muslim men who then locked her inside the
fridge,  leading to her death. The viral post also claims that following the
woman’s death, Ghaffar Mian and his accomplices raped the girl’s corpse and put
it back inside the fridge.

Yogi Yogesh Agarwal made the same claim while tweeting the image. (Archived

Another user named Sunil Borkar also promoted the photo with the same claim.

Alt News also received requests to fact-check the visuals on its WhatsApp
helpline number (+917600011160).



 

FACT CHECK

Alt News searched news reports from Assam for finding out details of the
incident but did not come across any report corroborating the claims made in the
viral posts. Next, we performed a reverse image search of the viral collage on
Google. This led us to the source image carried in a 2010 blog post. The post
contained all the images featured in the photo in circulation. However, there
was no mention of when or where the incident occurred. We also found another
Portuguese blog post from the same year containing the image in question. It is
cited as an incident that occurred in Brazil’s Usasco. In fact, we observed the
the picture has been circulating from time to time in connection with different
incidents. In 2021, Yahoo News carried the image while reporting on a similar
incident from Venezuela. Though Alt News cannot confirm when and where the photo
was taken, it is clear that it is at least 12-year old and not from Assam.



The Assam Police tweeted a link to this blog post, stating that the image was
actually from a 2010 Portuguese blog and was being circulated with a false
context. Along with this, it warned social media users with punitive action if
they shared the photo’s with misleading messages.

Note: Alt News does not concur that the link mentioned in this tweet is the
original source.



To sum it up, social media users shared old images with a false communal angle.
Following the Shraddha murder case, the internet has been rife with similarly
misleading ‘Love Jihad’ claims, citing the names of a Hindu woman and a Muslim
man.
