In our fact check research, we checked the Facebook profile of the person whose screenshot is going viral. Nek Mohammad Rizvi describes himself as a Digital creator. In one of his latest post, he has called the claim circulating on social media about him as fake.
According to the Live Hindustan report, the person arrested is Mohammad Rizvi, who is also known as Raja. He is from Bhapura village in the Singhwara area and works as a jeep driver. He went on a stage set by Congress leader Mohammad Naushad and used an offensive slur against PM Modi and his late mother. The police conducted a late night raid and he was arrested by the authorities. The report does not mention any link between the arrested individual and the BJP.
We also contacted Facebook user Nek Mohammad Rizvi, who is a resident of Madhya Pradesh. He dismissed the rumor circulating on social media. While speaking to us, he mentioned is that he has filed a complaint regarding the misuse of his photo on social media. We have obtained a copy of the complaint filed by Mohammad Rizvi.
The complaint has been filed in the Station Kotma District-Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, dated August 29, 2025. The complaint states, “It is requested that my photo is being taken from social media accounts and being circulated in a wrong manner through various people’s IDs. An account named, Dr. Nimo Yadav 2.0, is posting abusive language against Modi Ji and misusing my photo by associating it with Congress’s election campaign in Bihar. Due to this, I am being defamed by linking my photo with different social media accounts in their own way. I have nothing to do with all this.”
The complaint further reads, “I have never been to Bihar till date, nor do I have any opinion about any leader or any other social and political person. This is a conspiracy against me. I am an ordinary worker and work for the party in district Anuppur (MP). I request you to take this matter seriously and stop the false propaganda being spread against me on social media and take appropriate judicial action.”
In conclusion, the person who abused PM Modi is not a BJP volunteer. A fake claim is being circulated using photos of a Facebook user with the same name, Nek Mohammad Rizvi, alleging that the BJP planted its own party worker in the rally to abuse Modi.
