Explanation
An image of NDTV news with Modi’s photograph claiming that Indian PM Modi who went to America recently failed following Covid precautions by not wearing a mask properly, and hence the Washington Court has ordered to train him on the safety measures, is viral on social media.
What is the Truth?
Indian PM Modi went to America to attend the Quad summit, and to address the UN General Assembly.
However, there is no official news on the Washington Court ordering to train Modi on Covid safety measures in both Indian and American media. The viral post claims that the news was published on the NDTV Tamil website. But could not find the news on the mentioned website. It is known that no such news was published on the NDTV Tamil website after September 2020.
The viral screenshot holds a photograph with ANI media’s logo in it. The author of the said article Barath Raj seems to be relieved from NDTV in August 2020 as per the details mentioned in his LinkedIn page. And the news listed in the trending column on ‘Tata groups’ was old news. Additionally, the Tamil word for order, ‘uttharavu’ is also misspelt in the claimed screenshot.
ANI News Agency has published the photograph of Modi where his mask seems to be improper. This photo clipping was used in the claimed screenshot.
Conclusion
It is a rumour that the Washington Court has ordered to train Modi on Covid safety measures.
