BJP Yuva Morcha member Shaurya Mishra recently shared a collage of four photos on his X handle, claiming that a shocking incident had occurred in Gurugram – a 24-year-old college student named Nikita Agarwal had been murdered by Arif Khan, her classmate. Khan, Mishra claimed, blackmailed her, forced her into prostitution and finally murdered her.Citing sources and the police, Mishra also wrote that Nikita and Arif were in love and would often meet at an OYO hotel instead of attending college. He claimed that during the course of the relationship, which lasted approximately six months, Khan took private videos and photographs of Nikita and began pressuring her to have relationships with wealthy men. When Nikita resisted, Khan began blackmailing her by threatening to make her private videos viral. When Nikita, fed up with this blackmail, threatened to tell the police, he threatened to kill her.It was also claimed in the X post that Khan feared Nikita might reveal his secret, so he conspired with three hotel associates to eliminate her. Arif first lured Nikita to the hotel on the pretext of deleting the video. After a fight in the room, Arif, and the three others, held her hostage, gangraped her, then strangled her to death. The accused dumped Nikita’s body in the woods in the dead of night, according to the post. It also said that three days later, police recovered the body and began investigating. After a thorough investigation, they arrested Arif Khan and the three others and that they have been sent to jail in judicial custody.

We could find none. Had such an incident occurred, the media certainly would have covered it.On October 26, 2020, an incident was reported in Faridabad in which a man named Tousif shot Nikita Tomar, a student, outside Aggarwal College in Ballabhgarh. Reports said that after Nikita had refused to marry him, Tousif, along with his friend Rihan, killed her. On March 24, 2021, the Faridabad district and sessions court found the main accused, Tousif, and his friend Rihan guilty of Nikita Tomar’s murder, while acquitting the third accused, Ajrudeen.However, on further investigation, Alt News found that on December 11, two days after Shaurya Mishra’s X post, Gurugram Police had responded from its official X handle, saying that no such incident had occurred and the facts being circulated were completely false.गुरुग्राम में ऐसी कोई घटना घटित नहीं हुई है। प्रसारित किए जा रहे तथ्य पूरी तरह झूठे हैं।झूठी खबर फैलाने पर कानूनी कार्रवाई की जा सकती है।— Gurugram Police (@gurgaonpolice) December 11, 2025Gurugram police also warned that spreading false news could result in legal action. However, despite this warning, Mishra did not delete the post. The post is still up and people are viewing and sharing the false claim.On December 16, that is a week after the original post being shared, Gurugram Police informed the public, again on X, that Mishra had been arrested. The statement said that Mishra had made a false claim that a Hindu girl was murdered by Muslim men in Gurugram. Gurugram Police had also issued a warning but Mishra neither published an apology nor removed the post, following which an FIR was registered and he was arrested. Shaurya Mishra turned out to be Hariom Mishra, a resident of Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh. Mishra is being interrogated and appropriate action is being taken. Police said they were also trying to find out his motive behind sharing his posts on social media.Sandeep Singh, spokesperson, Gurugram Police, told The Print, “The accused deliberately misrepresented facts and used inappropriate content to spread hatred on religious lines. Such posts can create serious disturbances in society, and the police take these matters very seriously.”What about the photos?We performed reverse image searches to trace the origin of the viral photos. We found images 1 and 4 (below) uploaded on the account of influencer Maulik Chopra on Pinterest. In these photos, Maulik is seen with a woman.The second photo (below) was taken from social media influencer Shivam Thakur’s Instagram page. It was uploaded on August 9, 2025. This photo features Shivam Thakur and Deepanshi Rawat.The third photo was uploaded on an Instagram page called Indian mythical images. However, no clear information was available about who took this photo or when. But the information provided above makes it clear that the photos shared with the viral claims show six different people.To sum up, the entire story shared by BJP youth leader ‘Shaurya’ Mishra about Nikita Agarwal being killed by Arif Khan was fabricated and made up. The photos were sourced from the internet. The post has landed Mishra in the police net – but it remains live on social media platforms.This article was originally published on AltNews and has been republished with permission.
