evidence: Referring to an article published by the ‘Asianet News Hindi’, a post is being shared on social media claiming that five miscreants were caught raping a half-burnt dead body of a woman in the Sikar district of Rajasthan. Ashok Swain, a Professor at Uppsala University, shared the same article of ‘Asianet News Hindi’ and tweeted, "While Indian media spreading fake news about the locked grave in Pakistan to keep rapists away, in Sikar, India, five Hindus have been caught for raping the dead body of a woman by taking it out of a burning pyre." Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] ‘Asianet News Hindi’ deleted their article reporting about five miscreants raping a half-burnt dead body in the Sikar district of Rajasthan. When we searched for the details of the claim made in the post using relevant keywords, we found an article published by ‘Patrika’ related to the same incident on 19 April 2023. The article reported that police had arrested five persons from the crematorium ground in the Ajitgarh area after the villagers thrashed all five on suspicion of performing tantric rituals with the burnt corpse of a woman. [...] To sum it up, the viral claims about five Hindus raping a half-burnt woman in the Sikar district of Rajasthan are not true.
