Claim: A vegetable vendor in Varanasi hired bouncers to protect tomatoes from getting stolen.
Fact-check: This vegetable vendor who hired bouncers to guard tomatoes is a Samajwadi Party worker. He did this as an act of protest - FACTLY
Verdict: the person in this photo is ajay fauji, who, as per reports, is a samajwadi party worker. he hired bouncers to stage a protest against the rising prices of tomatoes. pti covered ajay's story and later retracted it by saying they did not properly check the motives of ajay behind giving them this information. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
