Claim: Recent photo of a Muslim in tears of joy after the Shivling discovery in Gyanvapi Mosque.
Fact-check: Unrelated old photo shared as picture of a Muslim youth in tears of joy after Shivling discovery in Gyanvapi Mosque - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post is an old one. following the inauguration of the kashi vishwanath corridor, on 15 december 2021, naushad alam, a visitor from west bengal had expressed his anguish at the corridor's high walls hiding the gyanvapi mosque in varanasi. the photo has nothing to do with the alleged shivling that was reportedly found during the recent survey in the gyanvapi mosque. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
