On February 24, Gujrat's Motera Cricket Stadium in Gujarat has been renamed to Narendra Modi Stadium. Following this, an image is doing rounds on social media showing a road with a unique statue on claiming that in Bihar's Darbhanga a town square has been named after Narendra Modi. 

A Facebook user shares the image with a caption in Hindi that can be roughly translated to, "What is happening is condemnable. The tradition of renaming a town square, stadium, hospital after someone who is alive does not exist in our country."

This post has been reshared over 600 times. 

The image is also doing rounds on Twitter with a similar claim. 

The truth behind the claim 

In our investigation, we found that the viral image is morphed. No town square has been renamed after PM Modi in Darbhanga. The original image shows Faislabad's Station chowk in Pakistan' which has been edited by adding Narendra Modi's statue and name. 

With the help of reverse image search, we found this image carried on a website 'Pakistanpoint.com'.  The description of the image reads, "FAISALABAD: A beautiful view of kettle and cup installed in Station Chowk for beautification of the city."

We also found image of Faisalabad's 'Station Chowk' on the website of Business Recorder. The location can also be found on Google Earth.

Narendra Modi's statue

On further checking, we found the PM Modi's statue that has been edited into the original image on India Mart's website. 

Reportedly, in 2018, an elderly man was beheaded by unidentified men after he named a town square after Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, we did not find any credible report stating a town square has been officialy named as 'Narendra Modi Chowk' in Bihar's Darbhanga.

In conclusion, a morphed image showing a unique statue of PM Modi with a tea kettle is being shared with a false claim that in Bihar's Darbhanga a town square has been named 'Narendra Modi chowk.'
