Truth

No there will be no Babri hospital constructed on the 5-acre land allotted to the Sunni Waqf Board by Supreme Court as yet. No such announcement

As per the official media release the Sunni Waqf Board, it states that they had constructed a trust named as Indo Islamic foundation. This trust proposes to build a mosque, cultural research center along with public utilities which will include a community kitchen, library and a hospital on the allotted land in Ayodhya. We also spoke to Syed Mohammad Shoeb who is the CEO of the Sunni Waqf Board. He adds that the board has not taken any final decision about the construction. “The hospital, library, research center, that people are talking about are all proposals, we are yet to take any final decision,”.

They have also released the press note calling this a false rumor, denying it-

Now if we look towards the viral picture used in this post we used reverse image search on google and found that this viral picture belongs to the medical center from the University of Virginia. One could access this picture and the article by clicking here.

Therefore in our investigation, it was found that the viral post, as well as viral picture, does not have any connection with the Babri Hospital as per claims made on social media and all the news claiming it was found false.
