Several Twitter<\/a> users have posted an image where a nurse appears to be washing the feet of a man wearing a skull cap. As per social media claims the man is a local Imam. Everyone in the photograph is wearing a mask except the ‘Imam’. The claims also suggest that the person in the middle is the MLA from Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh who ordered the nurse to wash the Imam’s feet. The incumbent MLA of Kurnool is Abdul Hafeez Khan of YSR Congress.<\/p>\n

Alt News spoke with Khan (highlighted in green) who said that he is unaware of the identity of the man whose feet were washed by the nurse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“This image was clicked in the last week of March. We are at the quarantine centre in Rayalaseema University. The man had injured his feet and the nurse was attending to him. The situation was critical because the person was diabetic,” said Khan, adding that he had filed an FIR about the misinformation on April 5 at One Town Police Station in Kurnool. As per the FIR<\/a>, the rumours began circulating before April 5.<\/p>\n

Kurnool police also posted about the misinformation on Facebook. According to the police, “He [the man in a skull cap] accidentally put a gate on his leg that was there in that building and lot of BLOOD started coming out and as he is diabetic the nurse started to put cotton and a bandage later as the blood was not stopping as he was injured badly they shifted to GGH KNL in Ambulance as the wound was severe and for diabetic patients with out care it might create a big problem to him. Nurse was doing her job and treating the patient to stop the blood.”<\/p>\n
