      Old, Unrelated Images Peddled As Violence in Tripuras Panisagar

      A set of two images showing unrelated incidents of fire engulfing a factory and a warehouse is viral with false claims that it shows the recent violence in Tripura's Panisagar area.

      The images have been doing the rounds in the middle of reports of sporadic violence in parts of North Tripura; the violence was triggered by communal riots that broke out in neighbouring Bangladesh during Durga Puja. According to media reports, shops were vandalised and set on fire at Panisagar sub-division in North Tripura on October 26, during a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) rally. The police said that the gutted shops and ransacked houses belong to minority community members and a case is being registered based on a complaint from one of them.

      The photos are captioned in Hindi as, "Amir Hussain's electric goods shop and Amiluddin's paint and grocery shop were torched in Rowa Panisagar, Tripura. Both have suffered a loss of Rs 12-15 lakh. All these incidents happened allegedly in the presence of the police. No one has been arrested yet."

      (Original Text in Hindi: Tripura के रोवा पानीसागर में आमिर हुसैन की इलेक्ट्रिक सामानों की दुकान और आमिलुद्दीन की पेंट व किराना की दुकान को जला दिया गया. दोनों का 12-15 लाख रुपए का नुकसान हुआ है. आरोप है कि यह सब पुलिस की मोजूदगी में हुआ है. अभी तक किसी की गिरफ्तारी नहीं हो सकी है.)
