The Leaflet, a news outlet also shared the photo linking it to the recent protests. How did we find out the truth?: We performed reverse image search on these images and came across reports from 2016. IMAGE 1: We found several reports from news outlets like Hindustan Times, ABP Live, The Economic Times which carried the same photo. These articles stated about the violence that took place in Manipur on 18 December, 2016 after an economic blockade was imposed by several Naga tribal groups in the state. This blockade was initiated by the Naga groups to protest against the state government's decision to create seven new districts in the state. The story can be read here.
