1. Viral Posts Claiming Kolkata NRS Medical College’s Doctor Has Succumbed To Injuries Are False BOOM spoke to Sourav Datta, a junior doctor from NRS Medical College, who rubbished such rumours doing the rounds.

2. News» Fake posts are being shared on social media claiming injured junior doctor, Paribaha Mukherjee, of Nil Ratan Sircar (NRS) Medical College has died after succumbing to his injuries. The fake message is viral with a communal narrative to claim how after a septuagenarian of a minority community died a ‘natural death’, ‘his men’ came and killed a young doctor. Mukherjee sustained grievous injuries in the recent clash between doctors and kin of a deceased patient at NRS medical college in West Bengal. The post has been captioned, “Eighty-five year old Mohammed Shahid was admitted to Kolkata’s Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College on Monday morning. He was seriously ill, vomiting and down with acute stomach ache. He died during the treatment. His relatives and people of his religion barged into the hospital and beat up junior doctors Paribaha Mukherjee and Yash Tekwani so much that Paribaha was in coma and Yash’s condition was serious. We have just now received news that Paribaha Mukherjee has passed away. After the new government took over in the Centre, news about torment, rape and murders of Hindus, is commonplace. Nobody is doing anything. An 80-90 year old Mullah dies a natural death in the hospital. But to avenge it 200 Mullahs come and kill a young doctor. Don’t say anything, they are the Dara Huwa Muslims.” The post is viral on Facebook with the same communal overtone. The message with the same claim is also being shared on Twitter.
