Fact Check: No, Muslim men did not do last rites of a Hindu. KTR quotes false story from print media says Ganga Jamuna Tehzeeb

While the whole world is battling pandemic coronavrius, an opportunistic Mohammad Majid (AAP leader) made an attempt to gain public sympathy by spreading fake claims regarding the last rites of an Hindu man who died

Last week there were reports in some leading newspapers that five Muslims had come forward and carried out last rites of a Hindu Man, because reports claimed that the family & neighbours denied to carry out the cremation process. However this is completely false and manufactured.

According to the reports, rickshaw worker Venu Mudiraj, 50, who was residing at Anand Nagar near Khairatabad, died on Thursday at Osmania Hospital. His wife died two years ago and Leaving behind two children in the house. Also his brother stayed nearby

Upon investigating it was found that His family was dismayed by the news. Due to the lockdown, only a small number of close family members and local locals attended the funeral and extended family members carried out the last rites

As soon as the death news was received some of the relatives and friends were unable to come because of the lockdown. However, the AAP leader Mohammad Majid manufactured fake news in the media that no Hindu in the area was willing to take the body home, and that no one would support the last rites.

How did Mohammad Majid Spread fake news ?



While the dead body of Venu was being carried to the funeral grounds, Majid and his friends came, they requested that they will carry the dead body, they carried for very short period, then took photographs as carrying the body. Next day the AAP leader Majid gave the Photos and false story to the media houses that they did all the last rites as the Hindu families & neighbours refused to do it.

Media houses published this false story that Majid and friends as heroes as Hindu neighbour shunned their own. KTR has quoted this false story, praised those menand given Ganga Jamuna Tehzeeb colour.

My #CitizenHeroes today are 5 Muslim young men who organised their Hindu friend’s last rites when everyone else chose to stay away assuming it was a #Corona death

Nitizens were quick to call out the fake claim of the KTR and the print media

Why are you torturing the family members of the deceased by spreading Fake News, @KTRTRS???



Nobody stayed away. His family members did everything.



Your #GangaJamunaTehzeeb is a myth. It exists only in your “secular” assumptions.pic.twitter.com/TwQvcQGq2A — 🅺🅳🆁 केडीआर કેડીઆર ಕೆಡಿಆರ್ 🚩 (@KDRtweets) April 21, 2020

Power of #FakeNews makers is that IT minister of #Telangana @KTRTRS calls them Heroes. Truth is that extended family did everything, conducted last rites but media ran an #PhotoOp on Muslim youth. Media must apologise 2 the family. Truth via @NijamToday https://t.co/frllf1vZsf https://t.co/4m5OoepXkU — Ayush Nadimpalli (@ayush4bharat) April 21, 2020

Telangana state Digital Director K. Dileep gives big lectures on Fake news. Here State IT Minister KTR himself is promoting the Fake news.



Dileep either stop lecturing others with your gyaan or tell your party to follow. Promoting #CitizenHeroes is great idea but know the truth. pic.twitter.com/73r6Kme8b7 — Sagar Goud(SG) (@Sagar4BJP) April 21, 2020

Rumours of suspicions about whether he really died with corona have been spread. The audio recording of the phone call of the family members where they have confronted Majid is now viral on social media.
