This report is Confirmed false and is of Medium Priority. Here is why -
A post congratulating 17 year old girl Shukra Munawwar on winning the top prize at "Lakshapathi", the local version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", had used a photo of Mia Khalifa, former pornographic actress, instead Shukra. Further insight: Hate speech and false information targeting Shukra Munawwar got circulated widely on social media in the immediate aftermath of the win. Some posts claimed that an organization affiliated with the JVP will be building a house for her, while some asked people not to get too excited about this win, as she too belongs to the ethnicity of Zahran Hashim, the alleged mastermind of the Easter Sunday Attack.
