According to her, the attackers allegedly demanded that he chant slogans hailing ‘Jai Shri Ram’. Shockingly, when Asim Hussain refused to comply, the situation escalated. He was reportedly forced to remove his clothes, and a belt was used to inflict physical harm on his back. The attackers further aggravated the assault by gripping his beard and pulling on it, she said.
However, during the investigation later, it was found that Asim Hussain had molested a woman on the train, due to which he was beaten up by people. There was no incident of raising slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ on the train.

The cruise, supposedly stuck just three days into its planned 51-day voyage, prompted Afreen to question whether sufficient consideration was given to the river’s depth when planning the route.
However, during our investigation we found that the Ganga Vilas cruise was not stucked in Bihar and reached every destination as per the schedule.

The girl told the family members about the misconduct. So, in a reaction to that, the people of the house spoiled the Pandit’s Rahu Ketu (Horoscope) by beating him with a bat.
During our Investigation, we found that the four youths assaulted the priest with a cricket bat because the priest did not allow the boys to keep the cricket equipment inside the temple.

Afreen further accused the police of holding Sadho by the neck, calling the behavior “unfortunate” and condemning those in power who “talk about women’s respect day and night.

However, during our investigation, we found that there was a BJP office on the first floor of the hotel, but BJP had nothing to do with the sex racket running in the hotel. The BJP office had been lying closed for several months.
Fake News 7
On June 13, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a tweet and wrote, the Alamgir mosque was built by Pandit to honor Aurangzeb after he saved his daughter’s modesty.
However, during our investigation, we found that there is no historical evidence to support this claim.
Fake News 8
On June 21, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a tweet and wrote, In Aligarh, Muskaan had eloped with Deepak 4 years ago and got married, now his dead body has been found by the police. The girl’s father Naeem says “When Muskaan ran away for the first time, she was a minor, we went to the court and brought her back, but one day she ran away again with Deepak and got married”. Family says- Deepak used to beat my daughter a lot!
During our investigation, we found that Muskan and Deepak had separated and since then Muskan was living with Faizan. Faizan was arrested in this case.
Fake News 9
On July 6, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a tweet and claimed that a school principal was allegedly assaulted by a mob in Maharashtra due to his involvement in conducting a Christian prayer in school.

Fake News 10
On August 9, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a tweet and claimed that Pappu Qureshi is a BJP member.
However, during our investigation, we found that Pappu Qureshi stands as a supporter of the Congress party and holds the position of a local leader within the party’s ranks in Faridabad. While it is evident that he entered into a strategic alignment with the BJP driven by opportunism, Qureshi eventually returned to the Congress fold.
Fake News 11
On August 23, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a video clip of Azad’s statement from the event. She summarized his words as, “Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhim Army Chief, underlined the significance of Muslims in Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s constitution drafting process.” Afreen further remarked, “This perspective challenges those who question the involvement of the Muslim community in electing and sending Bhimrao Ambedkar to the Constituent Assembly.”
During our investigation, we found that Dr. Ambedkar was indeed elected as a Constituent Assembly member from Bengal during its inception. However, the region from which he was elected became part of Pakistan after the partition. Subsequently, the Congress supported Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s membership from the Bombay constituency. In essence, when the constitution was being formulated, Ambedkar was representing Bombay within the Constituent Assembly, rather than Bengal. Hence, the assertion that Ambedkar obtained the chance to compose the constitution solely through the votes of Muslims is inaccurate and misleading.
Fake News 12
On August 31, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a tweet and claimed that a horrific gang rape of a female police officer in Saryu Express took place. The rapists tore the woman’s entire body, cut her cheek, and her entire body was drenched in blood. The female police officer was unconscious, lying under the seat in a semi-nude state. The woman has been admitted to the hospital, where her condition is said to be critical. She further claimed that, now even women police are not safe in UP.
However, during our investigation, we found that Woman constable was not raped. Neesh, Azad and Vishambhar are professional thieves who commit thefts in moving trains. They started forcing themselves on the woman constable. When the constable protested, She was hit on the face with a sharp object. Her head was hit against the window. Still the constable kept fighting. When they failed to control her, the woman constable was brutally beaten. After this the constable became unconscious. Fell on the ground. The accused then removed the clothes of the lady constable. During this time the train reached near Mankapur railway station. Fearing being caught, the miscreants pushed the constable under the seat and themselves got down from the train.
Fake News 13
On September 1, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a tweet and wrote that posters were put up to vacate Gurugram Muslim slums and settlements within 2 days! It is written on the poster – “If you want to save your life and honor, then vacate the area in two days.” Is this not oppression?? This is not an act of promoting hatred?? Tell me, will this bring peace to the society or spread unrest?? Will action be taken against those who put up posters or will the government remain silent to appease the crowd?? It was clear from the tweet that she was suggesting that Hindus are behind all this.
During our investigation, we found the statement of ACP Varun Dahiya on the YouTube channel of Gurugram News. He told that after the poster came out, a case was registered on August 28. Accused Asif has been arrested in this case, he had put up the poster due to competition in scrap work so that everyone would get scared and run away and he would do all the business alone.
Fake News 14
On September 21, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a video and claimed that, amidst the tension between India and Canada, Canada is going to ban RSS.
During our investigation, we found that, the person whose video is being shared and the claim of banning RSS is being made is the CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) and not a representative of the Government of Canada. This makes it clear that the Canadian government’s claim of banning RSS is misleading.
Fake News 15
On October 7, 2023, Islamic propagandist Sadaf Afreen while sharing a picture tweeted, “The innocent children seen in the photo were killed by the Israeli Army! Was this not a crime against humanity??
During our investigation, we found that the utilization of this image by propagandist Sadaf Afreen can be categorized as misleading, as it bears no relevance to the contemporary Israel-Palestine conflict.
Fake News 16
On October 8, 2023, Sadaf Afreen shared a video tweet and wrote, “This is Gaza. Israel has attacked Gaza. Is this not a terrorist attack?”
During our investigation, we found that this video is not related to the Israel-Palestine war. Rather, it is a celebration of the Algerian football club.
Hence, all these fake claims prove that Sadaf Afreen is a habitual offender of fake news. The art of manipulating facts seems second nature to her, woven with malicious intent to further personal agendas. As her web of deceit unravels, it becomes evident that she thrives on sowing seeds of misinformation. Her deeds hold the potential to stoke communal tensions, illustrating the danger posed by individuals of her ilk. In a world where truth is sought, her actions serve as a reminder of the perils of misinformation in our interconnected society.
