Fact Check: Mahant Nritya Gopal Das Is Alive and Well

A viral image falsely claimed that Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra President Mahant Nritya Gopal Das has died. Investigations revealed he is healthy and recovering at his Ayodhya residence. The misleading post led to widespread misinformation. Official statements and reports confirm the Mahant's well-being.

In recent days, social media has been abuzz with a viral image claiming that Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, the President of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, has passed away. The misinformation spread after a photograph surfaced showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi allegedly bowing to someone on a ventilator.

A thorough investigation by the PTI Fact Check Desk has debunked this false claim. Mahant Nritya Gopal Das remains in good health, currently recovering at his residence in Ayodhya. Statements from associates and media personnel confirmed that the image and accompanying claims were misleading attempts to spread false news.

Important clarifications from both the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra's official statement and other reputable sources, including Amar Ujala, ensure that Mahant Nritya Gopal Das is alive and well. Misidentification in the viral image was linked to an earlier meeting between PM Modi and an unrelated saint in Kolkata.
