      Photo Of Rape Accused From Meerut Viral With False Communal Spin

      A graphic image of a man from Meerut, who was injured after a woman attacked him while he attempted to rape her, is circulating on social media with communal captions misidentifying him as a Muslim named Mohammad Israr.

      BOOM found the claim to be false. We reached out to Daurala police, Meerut, who confirmed that the accused belongs to the Hindu community and his name is Mohit Saini. A woman bit Saini's lower lip when he tried to forcefully kiss her.

      The image, where a man can be seen with an injured lower lip, is being peddled with a Hindi caption that translates to, "*Meerut Breaking..........* A lesson to the predator for attempting to rape. The woman bit the lip of the accused. The woman was forcibly kissed. The woman was cutting grass in the field when attacked. Police arrested the accused. The name of the accused is Mohammad Israr."

      (Original Text in Hindi: *मेरठ ब्रेकिंग..........* रेप अटेम्प्ट करने पर दरिंदे को सबक महिला ने आरोपी का होठ काट लिया महिला को दबोचकर किस किया था खेत में घास काट रही महिला पर अटैक पुलिस ने आरोपी को किया गिरफ्तार आरोपी का नाम मोहम्मद इसरार है)
