When the fact checkers at NewsMobile did a fact-check, we found that the picture is photoshopped.
On putting the picture through Reverse Image Search, we found an article by India Today dated August 8, 2016.
The banner in the original picture reads ‘We want Azaadi’, which was put up by some Kashmiri youth in the Kashmir Valley, following Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani’s death.
Hence it proves that the picture being shared is photoshopped.
