A post by Pavan Kharab, who on his Facebook<\/a> profile claims to be associated<\/a> with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has amassed over 5,100 shares.<\/p>\n

Many people on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> shared the image with a similar claim.<\/p>\n

On December 24, the same image was tweeted<\/a> by Pakistani-Canadian author Tarek Fatah with the message, “Meanwhile #, in India a ‘peaceful’ in action.”<\/em>\u00a0It has garnered more than 4,500 retweets so far.<\/p>\n

OLD IMAGE<\/h2>\n

A reverse search of the image on Google revealed that it is almost three years old. We found the same image<\/a> posted on January 8, 2016. The user claimed that the image is from the Malda riots.<\/p>\n

Alt News couldn’t ascertain whether the image represents the riots that took place in West Bengal. However, it is worthwhile to note that the violence reportedly<\/a> broke out on January 3, 2016, in Kaliachak block of Malda while the earliest instance that Alt News could find was January 8, 2016.<\/p>\n
