The Claim:
A post on social media went viral, featuring an image with the claim that an individual named Ajay Mishra was fined $85 for defecating in public at New York airport. The post stated that Mishra is an IT specialist on an H1B visa.
Fact-Check Analysis:
- Investigation by FactCheck India:
FactCheck India’s investigation revealed that the claim was false. The image circulating online was originally connected to a different incident involving a different individual and location. - Incident in Singapore:
Multiple reports clarified the incident. According to a CNA report published on September 19, 2024, the image relates to an Indian national, Ramu Chinnarasa, who was fined in Singapore for defecating in public. Ramu, a 37-year-old construction worker, pleaded guilty in court and was fined S$400 (approximately ₹25,000). - Additional Confirmation:
A Hindustan Times report from September 19, 2024, further confirmed that Ramu Chinnarasa was fined in Singapore for defecating outside the entrance of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, not at any airport in New York.
Conclusion:
The viral post claiming that Ajay Mishra was fined at New York airport for defecating in public is entirely false. The actual incident involved Ramu Chinnarasa, an Indian national, who was fined in Singapore, not in New York.
