Doctored image of Indian opposition leaders in front of liquor store circulates ahead of state polls

An image that appears to show Indian opposition leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann sitting in front of a liquor store has been shared thousands of times in social media posts. The image -- which some social media users appeared to believe was genuine -- circulated weeks before state elections in Punjab which the politicians' party is fielding candidates for. However, the image has been doctored to change the backdrop -- the original photo shows the two politicians sitting in a field.
