Image of mannequin carried on bike shared falsely

NEW DELHI: An image of a man on a bike appearing to carry a cadaver fastened to the rear seat of the vehicle has gone viral. The body has been covered up except for a limb sticking out. A netizen shared this image implying that the motorcyclist, a Muslim, had killed his spouse, a Hindu, whose remains he was now carrying. A reverse image search led us to news reports which confirmed the image was from Cairo. In reality, a ready-made garment merchant was transporting a mannequin to display clothes at a store.
