Claim: The image shows AIIMS Delhi doctors paying tribute to Sitaram Yechury, whose body was donated for medical research.
Fact-check: An old photo from China is falsely shared as showing AIIMS doctors paying tribute to Sitaram Yechury whose body is donated for Medical Research - FACTLY
Verdict: this is not a photo of doctors paying tribute to sitaram yechury, whose body was donated for medical research. instead, it is a photo taken at a hospital in china in 2016. dr. zhao xu, a 41-year-old from anhui province in eastern china, volunteered to work with a group of doctors in shannan, tibet autonomous region. during his service, he suffered a brain aneurysm, which later led to his death. zhao's family honoured his last wishes by donating his kidneys, liver, and corneas. his fellow doctors paid their respects in this manner. therefore, the claim made in the post is false.
