A 2012 photo from Afghanistan of a Taliban militant wearing women's clothing women being arrested by security personnel is viral with a false claim that it shows a terrorist arrested in Kashmir.
The viral photo shows a man dressed in a salwar kameez, worn by women and being escorted away by uniformed security personnel and is being shared with two captions in Hindi -- "those who mocked Baba ramdev thought their afzals were men... We knew there would be a Afzal will be in every home but we never imagined afzal will come out of like this!" (Original in Hindi - बाबा रामदेव की मजाक उड़ाने वाले तो समझते थे कि उनके अफजल मर्द हैं। घर घर से अफजल निकलेगा, मगर ऐसे निकलेगा यह पता नहीं था)
