FACT CHECK
The team of fact-checkers at NewsMobile checked the claim and found it to be misleading.
The man in the picture is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s younger brother Prahlad Modi, but the plane he is sitting on is not a private charter plane.
While digging for facts we came across a news article in which Prahlad Modi described the truth behind the viral picture.
As per the article, the picture of Prahlad Modi in the plane was taken in July 2017 when he was returning from in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna after inaugurating a computer institute. He further explained that the plane he was sitting on was not a charter plane but a regular flight between Bhopal and Satna.
Hence, this proves that the above post is misleading.
