Verifying the claim<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Image 1:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Alt News did a reverse image search and found an image of a man bleeding heavily from his head in an article published by a news website, Royal Bulletin <\/a><\/em>on September 9, 2017. According to the report, the man was injured badly during a domestic dispute with his wife in Bhopa village of Muzaffarnagar district, UP. The report claimed that police refused to take action calling it a husband-wife matter. The editor of Royal Bulletin<\/em> in a conversation with SMHoaxSlayer<\/em> has confirmed that the image was taken by a journalist associated with the newspaper. While the EXIF or MetaData of the image on Verexif<\/a><\/em>, a website for verifying the EXIF data of images reveals that it was clicked from Nikon Coolpix A10 camera. Social media websites wipe off the EXIF data(Metadata), hence the image posted on the website is original.<\/p>\n

Image 2:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A Google reverse image search shows that the image has been shared earlier on the internet in a different context. The image was shared by Google Plus account named \u0930\u092e\u0947\u0936 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u093e\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/a> (Ramesh Rajaram). Hence, the image shared on April 2, 2018, with a different context cannot be a representative of an incident claimed to have occurred after a month. It may be noted that Alt News hasn’t been able to trace the original image and its context.<\/p>\n
