Claim: Photo of a police officer pointing a gun against a farmer protesting against the Modi government .
Fact-check: 2013 photo falsely linked to the farmers' present protest against the Agriculture laws - FACTLY
Verdict: photo in the post was shot during a confrontation between villagers and cops in meerut district, uttar pradesh. on '29 september 2013, a large number of villagers gathered at a maha panchayat venue defying section 144 imposed by district magistrate to protest against the arrest of local bjp mla sangeet som. it has nothing to do with ongoing protests of farmers against the agriculture bills passed by the government of india. hence the claim made in the post is false.
