A photo of a woman is being shared on social media with a claim that she was a teacher in Lahore (Pakistan) and was suspended for her body shape. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Photo of the teacher who was suspended for her body shape in Lahore, Pakistan.
Fact: The woman in the photo is an Indian model. Her photo has been photoshopped and is being shared with a fake story. No such incident has been reported by any credible news agency. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
In the photo, it can be seen that the news (archived) was published by an online website – ‘Republic of Buzz’. No other credible news agency except a few nondescript websites have reported about such incident. In the photo, a tweet from the user account – ‘@ Aasiazubair908’ can be seen. On looking at that account, it can be observed that the account has been created recently in June 2020 and very few tweets were made from the account. Also, on running the posted image through Google Reverse Image, similar photos can be found in the search results and it can be seen that the posted image has been morphed.
Also, in the search results, the Instagram profile of the woman in the photo was found. Her name is ‘Zoya Shaik’ and she wrote in her Instagram profile that she is – ‘Actor, fashion blogger. Fashion Model’. She posted the same photo on her profile on 14 February 2020. Other photos and videos of her in the same dress can be found on her profile. She has also featured in some vlogs and music videos. Further, she is from India. So, the Lahore Teacher suspension story is fake.
To sum it up, an Indian model’s morphed photo falsely shared as ‘Teacher suspended for her body shape in Lahore’.
