A picture of a woman’s corpse along with a wedding card from an interfaith marriage has been shared on both Twitter and Facebook. A woman’s photo also accompanies the posts, alleging that she is the one who died.

It has been claimed that one ‘Prerna Vyas’ from Rajasthan’s Jodhpur was a victim of ‘love jihad’ after she happily married a Muslim man.

The images, barring the photo of the woman, were also shared last year. The wedding card has the name of the couple allegedly involved in this incident, Prerna Vyas and Sameer Khan. Netizens had shared the photos and claimed, “Love Jihad’s last stop… Death.” Twitter user Aapki_Lekhika had shared these photos on her account with this message on September 11, 2020. Her tweet garnered more than 6,000 likes and had been retweeted 3,700 times before it was deleted.

These pictures were shared with the same claim by another Twitter account with ‘Hindu Jagran Manch Bareilly Braj Prant’ as its display name.

A Facebook page titled ‘His Highness Copy-Pastia Baba’ had also posted these pictures with this claim.

When we did a reverse image search of the photograph of the dead woman, we came across a report by DNA from September 12, 2018. According to this report, a young woman’s body had been recovered in the Burdwan district of West Bengal on August 31, 2018. The girl’s face had been crushed with a stone. During the post-mortem, two phone numbers written in henna were found on the victim’s body. Tracing these numbers led the police to a person named Karan Singh, a resident of Mumbai. When he was shown a picture of the corpse, Singh told the police that the girl’s name was Jahana Khatoon and she was from Muzaffarpur, Bihar. He and Jahana were in love with each other. However, her family was unhappy with their relationship. Singh said that Jahana’s father made her end her relationship with him and tried to force her to come back home with them to Muzaffarpur.
