The police also dismissed the claims made in the report that riots had started when Kapil Mishra was present at Maujpur.
On September 23, the Narcotics Control Bureau summoned Deepika Padukone, as part of its investigation into allegations of drug abuse in the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
Amid this, one of her pictures is getting viral on social media in which, she is seen wearing a black t-shirt on which it is written: "I STAND WITH INDIAN FARMERS". According to viral posts that is how she had reported to the NCB for questioning.
A Facebook user name Rajiv Tyagi shared the picture with a claim that "When you report for questioning to the NCB because you stood in solidarity with JNU... and carry swag on your T-shirt,"
The same picture is also getting viral on Twitter with the same claim.
In our investigation, we found that the viral claim is misleading. The image is photoshopped and Deepika who appeared before NCB on September 26 was dressed in completely different attire.
After doing reverse image research on google, we found a report of The Indian Express published on March 20, 2018, which carried similar photos of the actor. According to the caption of the image, Deepika Padukone was seen coming out of the airport when the picture was clicked.
In the original image, the actor can be seen wearing a plain black t-shirt without any text printed on it.
Below is the comparison of the viral photo and the real photos carried by the report :
When Deepika arrived at the NCB guesthouse in Mumbai, she was dressed in completely different attire.
In conclusion, we found that the viral picture of Deepika Padukone appearing before NCB wearing a black t-shirt with the slogan "I stand with Indian farmers" is photoshopped. The viral image is 2 years old while Deepika appeared before NCB on September 26 wearing a palazzo suit.
