There's no need for a he said she said. Techcrunch got the report, in which the border guards focussed heavily on the image. Techcrunch looked into the image: >It was an image from 2009 of a child, who had been murdered and mutilated. Despite the graphic nature of the image, TechCrunch confirmed the photo was widely distributed on the internet and easily searchable using the name of the child’s murderer. The border guards did not do any examination of the image, and appear clueless as to how Whatsapp works. Anyone who's used it knows that it autodownloada images by default. Further, anyone familiar with whatsapp usage in south asia knows that viral whatsapp forwarding is common there. Nothing there relies at all upon the story of the man turned away. It's all in the border report + techcrunch's search of the image. This is relevant for travellers who use whatsapp. Any meme forwarded to you could be grounds for visa revocation, even by a loose connection.
