Dr WebQoof Debunks Some of the Most Viral Fake Stories From May

The Quint  

As per usual, a majority of misinformation centred around the Gandhi family, across generations. One of the first stories to be debunked was a viral post which claimed that Congress President Rahul Gandhi had met Pakistan PM Imran Khan for dinner and the duo feasted on chicken biriyani. A reverse image search showed that the photo had been edited to inculde Rahul gandhi in place of Khan’s former wife Reham Khan. Another story involving a member of the Gandhi family was a post that claimed if former PM Rajiv Gandhi could shoot using a digital camera in 1983, then why couldn’t PM Modi do so in 1988? Lastly, another post showed a billboard with an Amul cartoon taking a dig at the Gandhi parivar’s latest entrant Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
