A post with a clip of a video telecast in ‘News 24’ channel is being shared on social media claiming that a Muslim maid named ‘Haseena’ was caught on CCTV while mixing her urine in the food prepared for her Hindu employer. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of a Muslim maid, Haseena mixing urine in the food prepared for her Hindu employer.
Fact: The woman who was seen mixing her urine in the food is not a Muslim named Haseena but a person named ‘Asha Kaushal’. This incident reportedly took place at Bhopal in 2011. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When we searched on Google using the keywords ‘Bhopal maid urine’, an article published by ‘The Times of India’ was found in the search results. From the article, it is understood that the incident took place at Bhopal in 2011 and the maid’s name is ‘Asha Kaushal’. Mukesh Suri, her employer, has mentioned in the article that he had installed CCTV cameras in his house as some household articles were missing. In the process of checking CCTV footage, Mukesh Suri caught his maid Asha Kaushal mixing urine in the food prepared for them.
Also, while speaking to ‘India Today’, Praveen Dube, a ‘News 24’ journalist clarified that the maid is not a Muslim. The same information about this incident  found in the articles published in ‘Aaj Tak’ and ‘Dainik Jagran’ news websites.
Earlier, when the same video shared with a similar claim, FACTLY published a fact-check article on it. It can be seen here.
To sum it up, the maid who is seen in the video mixing urine in the food of her employer is not a Muslim woman named Hasina. Her name is Asha Kaushal and she is not a Muslim.
