      2018 Photo Falsely Shared As Tejashwi Yadav Marching For Gulnaz Khatun

      A photo from 2018 of Tejashwi Yadav participating in a candle march as a peaceful protest against the murder of a businessman is viral claiming the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader led a march demanding justice for a 20-year-old woman, burnt alive in Vaishali, Bihar for attempting to stop three men from stalking her.

      The photo is being linked to the brutal killing of 20-year-old Gulnaz Khatun who was set ablaze in Rasulpur Habib village of Vaishali district on October 30, 2020, by three men who were allegedly stalking and threatening her. She succumbed to her injuries on November 15, 2020, post which there were calls for justice for the victim on social media and #JusticeForGulnaz started trending on Twitter as the family members sat in protest demanding the arrest of the accused. One of the accused has been arrested while the other two men are absconding, local police told BOOM.

The Hindi caption on the post translates to, "Tejashwi has joined the crowd with candles for a march for justice for Bihar's daughter Gulnaz. Tejashwi's support will strengthen the fight for justice and Insha Allah Gulnaz will get justice. #JusticeforGulnaz"
