Claim
To mark their protest against the abrogation of Article 370, the students of Aligarh Muslim University showed PM Modi as dracula in their posters.
सूत्रों के अनुसार अलीगढ़ मुस्लिम यूनिवर्सिटी के छात्रों ने धारा 370 हटाने के विरोध में इस तरह के पोस्टर लगाए हैं।
क्या फायदा ऐसे लोगों को पढ़ाने का जिनकी सोच ऐसी जघन्य हो?
उप्र के मुख्यमंत्री श्री @myogioffice जी से निवेदन है कि जिन्होंने ये पोस्टर लगाए हैं उनका ठीक से इलाज हो pic.twitter.com/BhW19V57HO

Verification
A poster of Prime Minister Narender Modi as Dracula is doing rounds on social media. In this poster, PM Modi is presented as a Dracula of Kashmir.
There has been an outpouring of false claims on social media after the abrogation of Article 370. Old images have been shared to mislead people. Amid these misleading claims, Newschecker found this tweet which has more than 500 retweets and 1.3k likes.

It’s clearly evident from the image that it is morphed.
Aligarh Police denies links with AMU about “Objectionable” meme of PM and Media also carries university denial. AMU has initiated FIR& legal action to expose culprits who want to tarnish image of great institution of learning @PMOIndia @HRDMinistry @dgpup ,AMU has Zero tolerance pic.twitter.com/RxLW2NSAi9

But was this poster displayed in AMU? We began our search by looking for this image on Twitter and found a tweet by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Aligarh University which states “Aligarh Police denies links with AMU about “Objectionable” meme of PM and Media also carries university denial. AMU has initiated an FIR & legal action to expose culprits who want to tarnish the image of the great institution of learning.

Going further, we found a video posted on Facebook which had the same poster. Turns out, this poster was used during a protest held outside the Indian High Commission in London.
It was now clear that this poster has no connection with the Aligarh Muslim University.
