FACT CHECK
When the team of fact checkers at NewsMobile checked the viral post, we found that even though both the pictures are real, they are not related to each other.
On the putting both the pictures individually through Reverse Image Search, we found that the picture on the left of the underprivileged is actually from Pakistan.
The picture was taken on March 28th, 2015 in Pakistan’s Sahiwal by a professional photographer Sohail Karmani who is also a professor of Writing at New York University in Abu Dhabi.
Meanwhile, the second picture of the woman police officer is actually a screen grab from a Tamil movie ‘Thimiru Pudichavan’.
