Fake claim by X user that Muslim woman had married her son debunked by Mohammed Zubair
Fact-checker Mohammed Zubair has debunked a false claim made by X user @swetasamadhiya, who is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sweta Srivastava who describes herself as an "Andhbhakt" and a "Hardcore Modi" supporter on her X bio had shared a video on her X account with a claim that a woman had married her own son in Kerala after the death of her husband.
In reality the video in question shows a mother congratulating her son after he completed the recitation of the Quran. However, it was falsely shared with the misleading assertion that a Muslim woman had married her son. Zubair's fact-check clarifies the actual context of the video, correcting the spread of misinformation

In the past also two edited photographs had gone viral on social media with the claim that "a father married his own daughter, prompting the mother to get furious and marry her own son." Back then also these claims were debunked by Alt News.
Many such false claims were earlier shared by right wing accounts. pic.twitter.com/dR5xtrYyyY

RCB beat MI by 18 runs after batters fire
Mumbai (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli blasted half-centuries as the defending champions beat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs in an Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.
Salt (78 off 36 balls) and Kohli (50 off 38 balls) stitched together a 120-run stand for the opening wicket before Patidar scored a rapid 53 off just 20 balls as RCB posted 240 for 4.
In response, Mumbai Indians were restricted to 222 for 5, with RCB spinner Suyash Sharma (2/47) putting the skids on the home side with a double strike in the eighth over, from which they could not recover.
Sherfane Rutherford top-scored for MI with an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls.
While opener Rohit Sharma appeared to be struggling with a hamstring issue and had to retire hurt on 19, his partner Ryan Rickelton made 37, while Suryakumar Yadav (33) and Hardik Pandya (40) were the other contributors for MI.
Brief scores:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru 240 for 4 in 20 overs (Phil Salt 78, Virat Kohli 50, Rajat Patidar 53, Tim David 35 not out).
Mumbai Indians: 222 for 5 in 20 overs (Sherfane Rutherford 71 not out, Ryan Rickelton 37, Hardik Pandya 40; Suyash Sharma 2/47).
