Two pictures are being shared on social media with a claim that Delhi people attacked Zee News office for being called freeloaders and traitors.
“दिल्ली के लोगों को मुफ्तखोर और गद्दार कहने पर भड़की दिल्ली की जनता… ज़ी न्यूज़ के ऑफिस पर लोगो का हमला
बधाई हो😂” – the caption read.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found the claim to be fake.
On putting the images through Reverse Image Search, we found one of the images on the official Twitter account of Maharashtra Congress dated 2017. The image was taken when the Mumbai Regional Congress office was vandalized by unidentified people.
We condemn the attack on Mumbai Regional Congress office. Such cowardly acts should be dealt with strongest action. The Govt. is failing badly in ensuring security of our citizens.
