When Prime Minister Narendra Modi won the elections with a sweeping majority in 2014, the whole Internet almost went on a mission to showcase Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s humble background.

Among many of his photos, a black-and-white photo of Modi holding a broom and cleaning floor had gone viral.

On social media its authenticity was questioned by many but nobody could prove it was fake or real.

But an RTI reply has revealed that the photo was fake and it was photoshopped.

An Ahmedabad-based activist had sought information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to check the authenticity of the image.

The RTI reply says, “…It is stated while the information sought does not form part of records, it may be noted that the said photograph is morphed and the person in the photo is not Mr Narendra Modi,” reported a news portal, Janta Ka Reporter.

“We all know that Modi saheb spent so much money to win the election. To win the election, his party even used morphed photo and it was widely circulated by andh bhakt (blind supporters) or paid bhakt. That’s precisely what promoted to file an RTI request to cross verify if the photo was genuine,” the same news portal quoted an Ahmedabad-based activist, who had filed RTI, as saying.

And apparently, this is the real image:

Karwar, Aug 6: In a shocking incident, a 40-day-old girl child was murdered by her own parents in Sirsi town in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district.

The accused are Priyanka (21) and her husband Chandrashekhar Bhat (42), residents of Ramanakoppa in Sahasrahalli in Yellapur.

According to police, the couple did not want a girl child and hence threw it into a well. The couple was arrested by the police the very next day.

The incident came to light after the child’s maternal uncle, Abhishek Jagadeesh Singh Choudhari, a resident of Rajeev Nagar in Sirsi, lodge a complaint with Yellapur police station. 

He had claimed that his sister Priyanka’s baby had been kidnapped and subsequently killed. 

Priyanka had claimed that she woke up around 2.30am on August 2 to find that her baby, Tanushri, was not in her cradle. Her husband’s family subsequently started searching for the baby, which they found dead inside a well. 

Choudhari suspected that Tanushri had been kidnapped, and had been killed by her abductors to erase any evidence of their crime.

Uttara Kannada superintendent of police Shivaprakash Devaraju constituted a team to crack the crime, and the cops, who subjected the parents to an interrogation, found that they were the culprits.
