Claim:
Photograph showing a man with 6 other family members is from India.
Fact Check:
The claim is false. A reverse image of the photo led to a Facebook post from 2017.
In a larger version of the photo, a signboard can be seen with Bengali text. The signboard reads, ‘Hanif enterprise Bhatiapara-Dhaka-Chottogram (Translated from Bengali)’
The location mentioned in the board is in Bangladesh.
A keyword search showed that Hanif Enterprise is a Bus company in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
On the website of a Bangladeshi transportation service, ‘Hanif Enterprise’ is listed among the bus services in Bangladesh.
Therefore, a picture from Bangladesh is being shared with false claims pertaining to India.
