Newly elected DU President Ankiv Basoya of ABVP submitted fake degree
Twitterati declare him future PM and Union Minister
New Delhi : Days after getting elected as the new president of the Delhi University Students’ Union, Ankiv Basoya of the RSS’s student wing ABVP, has found himself in a considerable spot of bother. Several media reports have said that Basoya submitted fake marksheet and certificate for admission in the DU from Thiruvalluvar University in Tamil Nadu.
The revelation was made after the Congress’s student wing, the NSUI, in Tamil Nadu reportedly wrote to the college asking for the authenticity of Basoya’s marksheet. The university, said media reports, stated that his degree was fake.
NSUI released a letter from Thiruvalluvar University sent in response to a communication from the student’s body, saying the BA certificate submitted by Baisoya from the university was fake.
ABVP, however, said the university allowed Baisoya’s admission after due verification of document submitted by him. In a statement, the ABVP termed the NSUI allegation “propaganda”.
“Delhi University gave admission to Ankiv Basoya after due verification of its documents. It’s the process of DU. Even today DU has all the right to verify documents of any student enrolled in university. But it’s not the job of NSUI to provide certificates to any person. DU has all the right to verify documents of not only Ankiv but all DUSU office bearers to stop rumours in future,” PTI quoted a statement by the ABVP.

Meanwhile, Twitterati have begun poking fun at the ABVP leader likening his notoriety to that of the fake degree charges levelled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet colleague, Smriti Irani.
Just like the leaders in BJP e.g. @smritiirani @narendramodi https://t.co/ReJOaKvx1H

So he may not be qualified enough for admission to DU, but has proven himself to be a true Modi follower and seems qualified to get into BJP leadership. pic.twitter.com/XW52rnySbq

Gurugram Police arrest BJP Yuva Morcha member for spreading fake murder story on social media
New Delhi: Gurugram Police have arrested BJP Yuva Morcha member Hariom Mishra, for allegedly spreading a fabricated and communally sensitive story on social media about the murder of a college student in Gurugram.
Mishra who is also known as Shaurya Mishra had shared a collage of four photographs on his X handle earlier this month. He claimed that a 24-year-old college student, identified as Nikita Agarwal, had been murdered by her classmate Arif Khan in Gurugram. In the post, he alleged that the woman was blackmailed, forced into prostitution, gangraped, and eventually killed. He also claimed that Arif dumped her body in a forest. The claims were presented as being based on police sources.
The post went viral and garnering over 1.5 lakh views, and was amplified by several right-wing social media handles across X, Facebook and Instagram. A verification of the claims revealed that no such incident had taken place in Gurugram. A search of credible news reports showed no record of any such murder. The police said this news would have inevitably attracted media attention if it were true.
On December 11, Gurugram Police publicly refuted the claims through their official X handle. They stated that the information which was being circulated was completely false. The police warned that legal action would be taken against those spreading misinformation. Despite the warning, Mishra neither deleted the post nor issued any clarification.
Police in Gurugram confirmed Mishra's arrest on December 16. The police said a FIR was filed after he continued to spread false information about the alleged murder of a Hindu woman by Muslim man. Police said Mishra, a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi district, is now being investigated.
Gurugram Police spokesperson Sandeep Singh told The Print that the accused had deliberately misrepresented facts and used objectionable content to spread hatred along religious lines. “Such posts can create serious disturbances in society, and the police take these matters very seriously,” he said.
A reverse image search conducted by fact-checkers at Alt News, revealed that the photographs used in the viral post were unrelated to the claims, while two of the images were traced to a Pinterest account belonging to influencer Maulik Chopra and another image was sourced from an Instagram post by influencer Shivam Thakur featuring a woman named Deepanshi Rawat. The fourth image was found on an unrelated Instagram page. The images depicted different individuals and had no connection to any crime.
Police said they are also investigating Mishra’s motive behind sharing the false and provocative content.
