Viral Video Fact-Check: After CCTV cameras captured BJP leader Manohar Lal Dhakad doing an obscene act with a woman outside a car, two videos claiming to feature Lubna Qureshi went viral on social media. As per the latest update, Dhakad, a local political figure from Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur, was arrested under different sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). On the other hand, a fact-check revealed that the videos, which claim to feature Qureshi in a compromising situation on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway with Dhakad, are false.
Notably, two videos claimed she was with Dhakad on the highway. In one of the videos shared by an X user, the woman accused police of misconduct. It was captioned as, “यही हैं वो मनोहरलाल धाकड़ के साथ हाईवे वाली लुबना कुरैशी अब रो रही हैं ये पहले सोचना चाहिए था रोड़ शो करने से पहले!”
FACT-CHECK: The viral video was posted by Rajasthan Tak on August 23, 2024. Meanwhile, a report by Zee Rajasthan, published last year in August, reveals that the woman in the video is Monika Rajpurohit, well-known as ‘Bikaner Ki Sherni’. She is a popular social media influencer who hails from Rajasthan’s Bikaner and is not related to Dhakad in any manner.
Meanwhile, another video shared by an X user featuring a Hijab-wearing woman is also not related to Lubna Qureshi in any way. It carries the caption, “मेरा जिस्म मेरी मर्जी, मै धन्दा करू तुम्हें क्या ? #LubnaQureshi हाइवे फिल्म की हीरोइन पर्दानशी लुबना कुरैशी को बेपर्दा ना कर दूं तो मेरा नाम मनोहर लाल धाकड़ नहीं।”
FACT-CHECK: A fact-check in the video revealed that the video is from 2023. The viral clip, originally from Pakistan, shows a hijab-clad woman arguing with a man.
News24, however, couldn’t independently verify the location, and timing of the viral video.
