The photograph has also been circulated on Twitter<\/a> with the identical claim. Several among those who shared it are followed by railway minister Piyush Goyal’s Office (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>).<\/p>\n
\nAlt News found that the image was circulated last year as well. From a page\u00a0Semah G. Weifur Fans, it received over 59,000 shares. This page made a similar claim of the man being a terrorist.<\/p>\n
\nBe vigilant, terrorists have adopted a new strategy, they turn into a beggar with explosives. Their targets are schools,…<\/p>\n

What is the truth?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Upon reverse searching the image on Google, we found a 2014 tweet by Sisat.pk\u00a0<\/em>of the same photograph captioned differently – “Man with hashish jacket on turkhum border.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We found another tweet from that same year by a Pakistan-based journalist also claiming that the man was caught with hashish at Turkhum border, which is a crossing point between Pakistan and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

ThePrint<\/a><\/em>\u00a0recently debunked the photograph.\u00a0The viral image was also shared in 2014 with an altered claim that the man was an ISIS terrorist. Malaysian website\u00a0rojakPOT<\/em><\/a> had busted the false narrative.<\/p>\n
An image of a Muslim man carrying hashish, caught by the Pakistani army at the Pak-Afghan border in Turkhum, was thus viral as a suicide bomber caught by the Indian army.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
