Is stationmaster Mohammed Sharif Balasore missing?
Some 250 kilometers from its final destination, the Yeshwantpur-Howrah Express sped up its approach to Bahanaga Bazar station in northeast Odisha on June 2 at 6:55 p.m. mph and reached an incredible speed of over 125 km. Just 35 seconds later, the Coromandel Express, also leaving Howrah, sped onto the nearby tracks of the station as it left for Chennai. False information about the stationmaster at Bahanaga Bazar station was spread through social media posts seeking to communicate the fatal train accident that took place in the Balasore area of Odisha.
These posts falsely claim that the station chief, Sharif Ali Balasore, fled the scene of the accident and is a Muslim. These claims have been debunked by fact-checking conducted by the respected fact-checking organization BOOM. In response to a query from BOOM, Aditya Kumar Chaudhary, Director of Public Relations for South Eastern Railway, confirmed that SB Mohanty and not Sharif Ali is the Assistant Station Master at Bahanaga Bazar. Furthermore, Chaudhary refuted rumors that Mohanty had fled the scene of the collision by stating that he had not. The viral tweets not only promote false information about the stationmaster, but also the false claim that there was a mosque near the crash site in the Balasore district.
The photo posted in these tweets actually shows an ISKCON temple and not a mosque, as various social media users have claimed. This was revealed by BOOM’s investigation. The posts, which are often shared on Facebook, use inflammatory language and try to spread unproven claims about links between Bangladesh, the Rohingya, the ISI and Manipur. These claims, which have no basis in truth, only serve to exacerbate racial tensions. In conclusion, it is incorrect to say that the disappearance of stationmaster Sharif Ali is related to the Balasore railway tragedy.
