schema:text	(Archives of similar posts can be seen here, here, and here.) However, the incident dates back to 13 October 2018, when an Indian scientist Karan Jani and his friends were denied entry to a garba event, held at Shakti Mandir in Atlanta, USA for reportedly not "looking Hindu" and not having "Hindu sounding last names." WHAT WE FOUND OUT We noticed that the article carried Tushar Tere's byline, a journalist associated with the Times Group. It also showed that some information was taken from Karan Jani's Twitter account. Using relevant keywords, we looked for more information and reports on the incident. The search led us to an article published by the same journalist on The Times of India in October 2018. We also found a Twitter thread by Jani, where he shared a video saying that they were denied entry from the garba event because they "didn't look Hindu" and the last name on their ID's "didn't sound Hindu." The thread was posted on 13 October 2018. He shared details of the incident, saying that his Konkani friend was pulled out of line and was told that she was "Ismaili." Jani mentioned that a senior person in the organising team spoke to them in "crude and demeaning" language. (Note: Swipe right to view the rest of the thread.) We found reports published by The Indian Express, Hindustan Times and NDTV which were published in October 2018 as well. Clearly, a four-year-old incident of a scientist being denied entry to a garba event in Atlanta, USA is being shared as a recent incident.
