This paper describes our system participation in the SemEval-2017 Task 8 'RumourEval: Determining rumour veracity and support for rumours'. The objective of this task was to predict the stance and veracity of the underlying rumour. We propose a supervised classification approach employing several lexical, content and twitter specific features for learning. Evaluation shows promising results for both the problems.
