The picture is also being shared over WhatsApp and Facebook in Malayalam with a misleading caption. An account called Ex-comrade also tweeted the photo, but later deleted its tweet. The handle has been regularly posting about the Sabarimala issue slamming the Left government and women trying to enter the temple.#SaveSabarimala The @nytimes waali @suhasiniraj and how do commies manage to produce scums with such regularity? And what was this @SitaramYechury trying here pic.twitter.com/En8Tb3tU6A

BOOM was able to verify that the woman in the photo is in fact activist Teesta Setalvad. The photo is from August 2015 during a rally organised by CPI (M) in Mumbai's Azad Maidan. The rally was attended by many CPI(M) leaders and also saw Setalvad share the dais with them. Setalvad is an activist and founded the Citizens for Justice and Peace. BOOM was also able to trace the photo to Press Trust of India's archives. It was shot by photographer Santosh Hirlekar.The harassment on twitter continues unabated for second day in a row. This one has a funny photo of @SitaramYechury with some lady whom this harasser calls mine. https://t.co/i0orLXEcLi
