      Photo Of Cremation Ground In Bhopal Falsely Shared As Gujarat

      A photo of a crematorium from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh showing several funerals taking place is being shared with the false claim that it is from Gujarat.

      This is being shared in the backdrop of the rising number of COIVD-19 cases in the country and photos and videos showing overwhelmed crematoriums from Gujarat. The post links the ongoing West Bengal elections and questions the handling of the COVID-19 situation in BJP governed Gujarat.

      The viral photo is being shared with the caption, "Dear People of Bengal, This is Gujarat ruled by BJP for last 25 years. Do you want BJP's Sonar Bangla?"
