Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud's claim of a 'humble background' is false. His father was a former CJI, his mother was an accomplished singer, and there's no evidence to support the story that “his mother washed clothes in public.”

Let's stick to the facts. #factcheck 🧵⬇️

Chandrachud Wada in Pune, the family home of CJI Chandrachud, has a notable history dating back to the Peshwa empire. Let's celebrate their legacy without spreading false information.

DY Chandrachud attended one of India's best schools, Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai. Notable alumni include the Godrejs, Mahindras, Tatas, Bajajs, and Bhutto. Let's avoid spreading false information about his mother washing clothes in public.

DY Chandrachud was appointed as Additional Solicitor General of India during the Vajpayee government and has been a prominent figure in the Indian judiciary. Personal integrity is very important.

Very important.
