    • No, This Is Not A Photo Of Akhilesh Yadav Performing Last Rites of Mulayam Singh

      A photo of journalist Ashish Misra performing the last rites of his father is being shared on social media with the false claim that it shows Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav lighting the pyre of his father Mulayam Singh Yadav who passed away on October 10, 2022.

      Mulayam Singh Yadav, veteran politician and founder of the Samajwadi Party, died on Monday, at the age of 82. The 82-year-old had been hospitalised since August and was cremated in Saifai, Uttar Pradesh with full state honours on October 11, 2022.

      Journalist Bhadohi Wallah had also tweeted stating that the viral photo being shared is of journalist Ashish Misra cremating his father and not Akhilesh Yadav.

      ये अखिलेश यादव नहीं हैं। ये लखनऊ के सीनियर पत्रकार आशीष मिश्रा जी हैं जिन्होंने आज अपने पिता को मुखाग्नि दी। सोशल मीडिया पर इस तस्वीर को लोग अखिलेश यादव का बताकर शेयर कर रहे हैं। pic.twitter.com/SQnGz45OpC
