A letter has recently gone viral on the microblogging site. Muslim Twitter users trending the hashtag #Bhagwalovetrap are claiming that the controversial letter is from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). According to the reported letter, Hindu boys are encouraged to trap Muslim girls and convert them to Hinduism.
Moreover, the Twitter user, Tarannum Bano, who shared the letter on her account claimed that Hindus are carrying out conspiracies against Muslim girls. Hindu boys would be paid Rs 5 lakh as a reward for trapping Muslim girls into a relationship at colleges or offices and converting them to Hinduism. The tweet has garnered almost 4k likes and 2,769 retweets.
Another Twitter user going by the handle name, Saba Khan, wrote, “The conspiracy to convert Muslim girls into Hinduism is real and concerning. Further, she wrote, “It is a foolproof quest organized and run under the guidance of Bajrang Dal and VHP. They want to weaken Islam by converting women and unfortunately young girls are falling prey to it.”
The same claim was also made a few Muslim Twitter users named Rukhsar Shaikh, Save Muslim girls and Javeria Sheikh with the trending hashtag #Bhagwalovetrap.
Besides, the Twitter user who shared the viral letter writing that the RSS is asking Hindu boys to trap Muslim girls deleted his tweet.
Did RSS really issued this controversial letter or Muslims are running a propaganda? Lets find the truth.

Fact Check
The letter, which is going viral on Twitter, is missing a few important elements, such as the authority’s signature, which is necessary for the letter to be genuine and valid. So, in the first step of our research, we decided to check the format of the letters available on the RSS page and compare it with the viral letter.
Further, our team searched through RSS’s social media pages and website and discovered a Facebook post from RSS. We compared both letters and discovered a few distinguishing elements like the design of the Om symbol in the top right corner, as well as the font style in both letters, differed. The moto “संघे शक्ति: कलौयुगे” written underneath the Om symbol in the RSS letterhead is also missing in the viral letter. Moreover, the color in the header of the original letterhead is orange. However in the viral letter, the red font is used in the header to write the name of the RSS organization in the English language.
Not only that, the viral letter states that the confidential letter was issued by RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, but it doesn’t consists of his signature.
Furthermore, we contacted the RSS media cell, and in a conversation regarding the viral letter they clarified that RSS had not issued any such letter and it has no connections to it. Moreover, the letter has been tampered in order to harm the RSS’s image.
Hence, the above-mentioned fact proves that the viral letter is a forgery. Moreover, the Islamists are using this propaganda to discredit the RSS and to propagate the narrative that the way Hindu girls are being lured into love jihad trap in the same manner that Hindu organisations are planning conspiracies to trap Muslim girls.
