Fact Check
Claim
Muslim house help mixes her urine into a glass of fruit juice before allegedly serving it to her Hindu employer, an SP leader.
Fact
Video is old and from Kuwait.
Several social media users are sharing a 50-second video, claiming it shows a Muslim house help mixing her urine into a glass of fruit juice before allegedly serving it to her Hindu employer, a Samajwadi Party leader. “Maid Farida Khatoon was caught on camera…When will Hindus realise, we are all kaafir to them, our caste, state, language or political ideology don’t make any difference… !! #FoodJihad,” read an X post, sharing the video.
Newschecker ran a keyword search for “Muslim house help SP leader fruit juice,” which did not lead us to any credible news reports about such a case.
We then ran a reverse image search of keyframes, which led us to this OneIndia News report on Youtube, dated April 28, 2016, featuring the same video. “This bizarre video is going viral which shows a young maid working in a Kuwaiti household was caught on camera adding her urine into the family’s orange juice just before serving it for their breakfast. This is actually a warning for other people to be cautious of the behaviour of their maids,” read the description.
A further search led us to this Deccan Chronicle report, dated April 27, 2016, stating that the family was wary of the maid owing to unexplained reasons and to monitor her activities, they had fitted a secret camera in the kitchen.
A relevant keyword search led us to Arabic news reports, seen here and here, on the incident. “A video clip, captured by home surveillance cameras and shown on a Kuwaiti talk show, showed a maid putting urine in a cup of juice prepared for her sponsor. The clip, which was broadcast on the “Diwan Al-Mulla” program on “Al-Shahed” satellite channel the day before yesterday, Sunday, showed one of the maids preparing a “cup of juice” while another urinated in another cup and put the urine in the juice cup,” read the akhbaar24 report in Arabic, dated April 26, 2016.
“Speaking to local news outlets, the head of the family, who chose to keep the identity of his employee secret, revealed his shock when watching the footage back. He also sent a message of warning for other local people to be cautious of the behaviour of their maids. It is unclear whether the maid was fired by the family following the incident,” read a Daily Mail report, dated April 26, 2016.
