Raushan Sinha, also known as @MrSinha, labels himself as an Indian political commentator and Hindu rights activist. He’s a well-known right-wing figure on X, frequently sharing fake news and fueling communal tensions. His account was even suspended for violating Twitter’s policies on misinformation, and his feed is filled with posts targeting Muslims. Sinha has built a well-organized network, amassing over 359K followers on X.

Earlier in July, an FIR was filed against Sinha after Telangana Congress leaders accused him of spreading false information about Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s comments in Parliament. Gandhi had stated, “The BJP people are not real Hindus and these BJP people are violent,” but Sinha falsely claimed on his X account that Gandhi had said something entirely different in his speech.

On July 29, Alt News fact-checker Mohammed Zubair called out Sinha again after he posted fake news claiming that 14,000kg of dog meat had been seized in Karnataka and that the police had arrested Absul Razak. However, food safety officials clarified that the meat was goat, not dog. Two FIRs were also filed against cow vigilante Puneet Kerehalli and his gang. By the time Sinha tweeted the false claim, it had already gained 9.9k views and 450 retweets.

Last year in August, Sinha was again at his best to demean Muslims and to spread hate along with also playing along with his support for Hindu nationalist party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In a now deleted post, Sinha had tweeted “I’ll go bald if Rahul Gandhi tweets on this,” this was caption along with an old video in which shows a Muslim man thrashing a minor inside a room that appears to be a madrasa. The clip is circulating on the Indian social media ecosystem with people questioning why isn’t the maulvi’s action condemned. According to Alt News, a Maulana (teacher) attacked a minor in Madrasa in Bangladesh. The Maulana was arrested by the police after the student’s father had filed a case. He was also sacked from the institution.

In August last year, Sinha once again fueled hate and targeted Muslims while showing his support for the Hindu nationalist party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In a now-deleted tweet, he posted an old video with the caption, “I’ll go bald if Rahul Gandhi tweets on this.” The video showed a Muslim man allegedly beating a minor inside a madrasa. The clip was circulated on Indian social media. However, Alt News clarified that the incident involved a Maulana (teacher) in Bangladesh and not India, who was arrested after the minor’s father filed a case. The Maulana was also dismissed from the madrasa.

Sinha doesn’t stop—he consistently posts fake news, knowing that his loyal followers will amplify it, and he does so without fear of accountability. His aim is clear: to spread hate and ruin the lives of Muslims. In yet another instance, Sinhaposted a video with the caption, “What kind of idiocy is this? I blame these women for going to such frauds… And if something goes wrong, everybody will blame the government.”

The video showed a man lying on a bed, while several people approached him for blessings. Later, he was seen touching women inappropriately, claiming to treat their medical issues.BOOM‘s fact-check revealed that the video was scripted and produced by a Bangladeshi company that raises awareness about fraudulent practices. Despite the fact-check, Sinha never deleted the tweet, as facts don’t matter to him as long as they serve his agenda of spreading hate against Muslims.

Sinha continuously spreads fake news, knowing his loyal followers will amplify it, and he does so without fear of accountability. He’s determined to ruin the lives of the Muslim community through hate mongering. In another instance, Sinha shared a fake video with the caption, “What kind of idiocy is this? I blame these women for committing such frauds… And if something goes wrong, everybody will blame the government.” The video showed a man lying on a bed while several people approached him for blessings.

Later, he was seen touching women inappropriately, claiming to treat their medical issues. BOOM’s fact-check revealed the video was scripted and produced by a Bangladeshi company that raises awareness about deceptive practices. Despite the fact-check, the post went viral, garnering 4.6 million views, 10k likes, and 3.2k retweets. Sinha never deleted the tweet, as he doesn’t care about facts—he’s only focused on spreading propaganda that fuels hate against Muslims.

Sinha’s spread of misinformation goes beyond India, targeting international news whenever it aligns with his agenda of spreading hatred against Muslims. When the Israel-Gaza war broke out in October 2023, Sinha shared false claims, including one about 40 Jewish babies being beheaded, which was completely untrue.

In December 2022, following Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant’s car accident, Sinha falsely stated that the crash occurred in a Rohingya-heavy area, alleging that the locals stole Pant’s belongings instead of helping him. The police quickly set the record straight, revealing that Pant was rescued by Haryana Roadways bus operators, who alerted the authorities, saved him, and made sure his valuables were returned while paramedics assisted him.
