      Several social media posts claiming WikiLeaks, an organisation that publishes classified media, has revealed that Congress President Rahul Gandhi is married to a Colombian woman and has two children who live in London, are false.

      The viral posts have used Gandhi's picture with a foreigner.

      The text accompanying the post claims, "WikiLeaks has revealed that Raúl Vinci is married. He has two children who live in London, His wife is a Colombian. The first child is the 14-year-old boy Niyak and the second child is a minor 10-year-old girl. Rahul Gandhi is misguiding the country by saying he's unmarried!"

      Translated from Hindi text "विकीलीक्स ने खुलासा किया है कि राउल विंची शादीशुदा है। इसके 2 बच्चे हैं जो लन्दन में रहते है। इसकी बीबी कोलंबियन है। पहली संतान 14 वर्ष का लड़का नियाक है और दूसरी सन्तान माइनक 10 साल की लड़की है। अविवाहित कहकर राहुल गांधी देश को गुमराह कर रहा है!"

      FACT-CHECK

      While there have been a few WikiLeaks cables about the Congress

      president in the past, none of them talk about his marital status. BOOM

      did not find any Wikileaks cable or news article stating Gandhi was

      married to a Colombian woman and had two children living in London.

      The Woman In The Viral Photo:

      BOOM ran a reverse image and found that the women in the photo is Nathalia Ramos a Spanish-American actress appearing in television series.

      Ramos had posted the picture along with Gandhi in an Instagram post dated September 15, 2017.

      The two met at an event at the Berggruen Institute in Los Angeles in September 2017.

It is only with an open mind and open heart that we can really make the world a better place. Thank you @berggrueninst for opening mine. #IdeasMatter "
