      Old Image From Srinagar Shared As Haryana Police Crackdown On Farmers

      A disturbing image showing police personnel washing blood stains after an attack on two jawans in Srinagar is being falsely linked to a recent incident of a police crackdown on farmers protesting in Karnal, Haryana.

      The Haryana Police on August 28, 2021, lathi-charged farmers protesting at the Bastara Toll Plaza on the national highway against a BJP meeting chaired by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on the upcoming panchayat polls. The clashes left several injured; police also detained protesters and reportedly used force to disperse a crowd blocking the highway.

      And while the news of police lathi charging farmers is true, a photo going viral to show it is unrelated and old.

      The caption with the photograph in Hindi translates to, "This is a very sad thing to say, farmers' blood is flowing on the road. They say so many things before coming into power and then, you can see the result."

      (Original Text in Hindi: बड़े दुःख की बात है किसानों का खून सड़को पर बह रहा है। सता में आने से पहले पता नहीं क्या क्या बात करते है किसानों ने बारे में और बाद में आप खुद देख लो।)

      Note: The image is graphic in nature, discretion advised.


      The image has been shared on Twitter with the same caption.

      According to The Hindu article published on September 23, 2013, two militants attacked two Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawans who were out shopping in the busy market near Iqbal Park in Srinagar. According to police, the militants used silencer-fitted pistols and fired from a point blank range at the unarmed jawans.
