Claim
Photo of a femaler protester at Shaheen Bagh shared as "To honour the farmers, grandmother from NDTV in the field !" (Original text: किसानों के सम्मान में NDTV वाली दादी मैदान में..!)
Fact
A fake claim that NDTV journalist Ravish Kumar diguised himself as a protester has been revived linking it to the ongoing Delhi Chalo march. The photo is fro, Feb 2020 and shows Shakeela Begum, a female protester at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi. In February, when the photo first went viral, Ravish Kumar took to Facebook that it was his photo and identified the woman as Begum, with another NDTV reporter tracking her at the protest and speaking to her.
BOOM had earlier debunked the claim and found the lady to be a protester at Shaheen Bagh, Shakeela Begum.
