Claim: The man in the photo is sent a notice of Rs 1,50,000 by the UP government for pelting stones.
Fact-check: An old photo of an elderly man throwing a stone is being shared with a false narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: the image is on the internet at least since 2016. a few users have posted in january 2016 saying that the image is related to 'malda riots' . the photo in the post has nothing to do with the recent protests in uttar pradesh. so, the claim is false.
