On October 24, 2026, the X handle “Anushi Tiwari (Proud Indian)” (@indiantiwari011) posted that clashes over a Jama Masjid demolition in Noida had escalated into major communal violence. It claimed RSS members had opened fire on Muslims, killing five, that shops had been set on fire, and that explosions were being heard. The post tagged Noida Police and UP Police and attached two short clips, one showing black smoke rising near high-rise buildings and another showing shops in flames. Fact-checkers have labelled it propaganda. No news reports or police statements mention any mosque demolition, communal clash, firing or deaths in Noida, and the clips show fires with no sign of a riot, crowds or any religious site. This handle and its twin, @indiantiwari01, have repeatedly spread fabricated content, including a fake “Delhi Police firing, 13 killed” claim, an invented Meerut killing story and a false Army “crackdown” on the CJP. Fake reports of communal killings can quickly provoke real violence, so such posts should be reported, not shared, and checked against official police updates.
