FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found it to be misleading as the above pictures were four-year-old.
On putting the picture through simple Reverse Image Search, we found the original picture which was posted on the official website of The Indian Express on January 06th, 2015.
The pictures were taken when former Maharashtra Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, met Dawoodi Bohra community head Syadna Muffaddal Saifuddin on the occasion of Dawoodi Bohra spiritual head late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin’s first death anniversary. As per the caption of the picture, it was taken by the Indian Express photographer, Pradip Das.
Moreover, there is no recent report of Fadnavis visiting any Mazar.
Hence, the above information proves that the viral post about Fadnavis visiting mausoleum is false.
