FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the posts and found the claims to be fake.
On putting the image through Reverse Image search, we found the original picture where the man wasn’t present.
We found an article by Washington Post featuring the original image and the picture was credited to Associated Press.
We checked and found the original picture on AP Images.
“A man rides past a wall painted with portraits of U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of Trump’s visit, in Ahmadabad, India, Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2020. Trump is scheduled to visit the city during his Feb. 24-25 India trip. (AP Photo/Ajit Solanki)” the caption read.

We also checked the second image and found that the warning prohibiting urination on that wall was also digitally added using editing software.

The above information proves that the viral picture is FAKE.
