Claim: Photo of the BJP worker who was thrashed by Cristiano Ronaldo fans for tearing up the Portugal flag in Kerala.
Fact-check: The injured person in this photo is not the Kerala youth who tore Portugal flag mistaking it for SDPI flag - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo does not show the man who tore the portugal flag after mistaking it for the flag of sdpi in the kannur district of kerala. a young man named deepak elangode was involved in a heated argument with the portugal fans after he was caught tearing the portugal flag erected by fans ahead of the fifa world cup 2022. a case was filed against the youth regarding this incident at the panoor police station in the kannur district. panoor police officials confirmed that the viral photo circulating on social media doesn't show deepak elangode and said that no such violent attack took place between the youth and ronaldo fans during the incident. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
