      Unrelated Photos Of Hindu Idols Falsely Linked To Sambhal Mosque Survey
      CLAIMPhotos show a 1500 AD statue of Lord Vishnu, a Shiva Lingam, and a Sudarshana Chakra found during the survey of Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh
      FACT CHECKThree photos are from Karnataka dating back to February, 2024, when Hindu idols were discovered from the Krishna river during a bridge construction. The fourth photo of a Sudarshan Chakra is from an online shopping website and the item is being sold by a seller based in Telangana.

      A set of four unrelated photos of Hindu idols and objects is being shared on social media falsely claiming that they were discovered during the recent survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh.

      Four people were killed as violence broke out on November 24, 2024, during the court ordered survey in Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. On November 19, 2024, a court of civil judge (senior division) of Sambhal had passed an ex-parte order for a survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid after taking note of a plea filed by Supreme Court lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain claiming that a temple existed at the site earlier.

      Three broken idols of Hindu Goddess Parvati and her sons Ganesha and Kartikeya were claimed to be recovered on December 16, 2024, during the digging of a well on the premises of a temple in Sambhal district reported The Indian Express.

      The set of four photos are being shared with a Telugu caption with reads, "1500-year-old Vishnu idol, Sudarshana Chakra, and Hindu symbols discovered during Sambhal Masjid survey. Every Hindu should share and protect Hinduism."

      FACT-CHECK: Photos of Hindu idols not from Sambhal

      BOOM found that the four photos of Hindu idols and objects being shared on social media are not from Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. These photos are being linked to the recent court ordered survey of Shahi Jama Masjid falsely claiming they were recovered there.

      We ran a Google reverse image search on the photos and the search results showed news reports which had three photos from the viral post. The reports stated that the idols were recovered from a riverbed in Raichur, Karnataka.
