DeTect: Photo of CWG medalists shared with misleading claim

NEW DELHI: After the end of the Commonwealth Games, a photo has gone viral.

In the photo, wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Deepak Punia and Ravi Kumar Dahiya are seen sitting on a stage along with farmer leader Rakesh Tikait.

The image was shared with the claim that it was clicked during the farmers’ protest.

Alt News ran a check and found that the Sarvjati Kisan Garib Manch had organised a felicitation ceremony for the winners of the Tokyo Olympics in Kharkhoda, Sonipat.

Tikait was also present at this ceremony.
