Fake Images Being Circulated on Social Media:

Some users are claiming that Azam Khan shaved off his hair as per Hindu traditions after Mulayam Singh Yadav’s death.

 

The image shows Khan supposedly in hospital attire with a saline bottle hanging to the left and marks of injected channels in his hand.

The image has been digitally altered. In the original image, Azam had his hair on when Akhilesh Yadav visited him in a hospital last June. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and Azam Khan had a courtesy meeting in Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram hospital during Khan’s medical check-up. Akhilesh Yadav himself tweeted these photographs from his official handle on June 1 alongside a caption that paid greetings and wished Azam Khan a speedy recovery, making it clear that the hair from Khan’s head was removed by altering the original image.

Thus, it is evident that the morphed photo of bald Azam Khan was shared with a false claim.
