Update (01 December 2022): As per news reports (here, here, here) Aarti Yadav got married to her deceased boyfriend Chhotu Yadav’s brother, Manu Yadav on the night of 25 November 2022.
A video is being shared on social media claiming it as the visuals of Aarti Yadav getting married to Chhotu Yadav’s brother. Anguished over Chhotu Yadav’s love affair with Aarti Yadav, Aarti Yadav’s family members killed Chhotu Yadav in July 2022. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video showing the visuals of Aarti Yadav getting married to Chhotu Yadav’s brother.
Fact: The video shared in the post shows a marriage ceremony held in May 2021. During a recent media interaction, Aarti Yadav informed that she will not marry until she gets justice for Chhotu Yadav’s death. Chhotu Yadav’s parents did announce to the media that they wish Aarti to marry Chhotu’s brother Manu Yadav if she agrees to it. But the video shared in the post is old and not related to deceased Chhotu Yadav’s girlfriend Aarti Yadav. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On reverse image search of the screenshots in the video, we could not find any reliable information about this video. When searched with relevant keywords on the internet, and found the same video published by a YouTube channel in May 2021. This YouTube channel published the video with the title, “Sindoordhan and full marriage short video” (When translated from Hindi to English). The honour killing of Chhotu Yadav took place in July 2022, in the Araria district of Bihar. So, it can be confirmed that the video shared in the post is old and not related to Aarti Yadav and her deceased boyfriend Chhotu Yadav.
Following the death of Chhotu Yadav, Aarti Yadav and Chhotu Yadav’s family members filed an FIR against her family members for Chhotu Yadav’s murder. Aarti Yadav was living with Chhotu Yadav’s family after the death of her boyfriend. Aarti Yadav in a media interaction stated that she will not marry until she gets justice for Chhotu Yadav’s death. Lately, Aarti Yadav, along with the family members of Chhotu Yadav, met Supreme Court lawyer AP Singh to fight the Chhotu Yadav’s honour killing case.
These marriage rumours started floating after an interview video of Chhotu’s brother Manu Yadav circulated on social media after Chhotu Yadav’s death. Responding to these rumours, Manu Yadav in another interview clarified that an edited clip was circulated with the wrong context linking marriage rumours with Aarti Yadav. Several news websites published articles reporting this clarification issued by Manu Yadav.
However, during a recent media interaction, Chhotu Yadav’s parents and relatives expressed their wish marry Aarti Yadav to Manu Yadav if she agrees. As of now, we could not find any news reports confirming the marriage of Aarti Yadav with Chhotu Yadav’s brother Manu Yadav.
To sum it up, an unrelated old video shared as visuals of Aarti Yadav getting married to her deceased boyfriend Chhotu Yadav’s brother.
