A video is being shared on social media claiming it is the visuals of Sanjay Gandhi’s daughter speaking about the riots in France and slamming secularists and influencers in the country for not speaking a word against the violence incited by Muslims in France. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of Sanjay Gandhi’s daughter speaking about the communal riots incited by Muslims in France.
Fact: The video shared in the post shows Radhika Abrol, a BJP worker and Former Municipal Councillor of SDMC, speaking about the riots in France. Radhika Abrol in her bio section clearly stated her father’s name as Atul Abrol. Radhika Abrol has nothing to do with the late Sanjay Gandhi. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.
On reverse image search of the screenshots of the video and by searching with relevant keywords, a video showing similar visuals was found published on the Facebook page of Radhika Abrol. Radhika Abrol published this video on 04 July 2023.

To sum it up, video of BJP worker Radhika Abrol is shared as the visuals of Sanjay Gandhi’s daughter criticising secularists in the country over riots in France.
