False claim circulates regarding Akhilesh Yadav paying respects to gangster Atiq Ahmed
Lucknow: A photo circulating on social media purportedly showing Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav paying respects at the grave of gangster and politician Atiq Ahmed has been debunked as false. The claim has been refuted with evidence proving that the image is from 2022 when the couple visited the burial site of Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Upon conducting a reverse image search, it was found that the same photo was shared by Akhilesh Yadav on his official Twitter account in November 2022. The tweets indicated that the visit took place before filing nomination papers for the Mainpuri Lok Sabha by-poll.
Dimple Yadav also posted the identical photo on her 'X' account, corroborating the fact that they were at Mulayam Singh Yadav's memorial site, not Atiq Ahmed's.
In conclusion, the viral photo does not depict Akhilesh and Dimple Yadav paying respects to Atiq Ahmed but rather visiting the grave of Mulayam Singh Yadav in 2022.
मैनपुरी उपचुनाव में सपा के प्रत्याशी के रूप में दरअसल नेताजी की समाजवादी आस्थाओं का ही नामांकन हो रहा है। जिस प्रकार दलगत राजनीति से ऊपर उठकर सभी दलों के लोगों और जनमानस ने सैफई आकर नेताजी को श्रद्धांजलि दी है, उसका सच्चा परिणाम ये होगा कि सपा प्रत्याशी की ऐतिहासिक जीत होगी। pic.twitter.com/25Q4FFKSe4

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
