Claim: An image has been shared hundreds of times in multiple Facebook and Twitter posts which claim it shows an advert for an Indian government agency selling three face masks for 999 Indian rupees. The post includes a purported photo of the masks, with an image of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on their packaging. The claim is false; the government dismissed the hoax on Twitter on July 27, 2020; a search of the agency's website in July 2020 found it was selling the face masks from between 30 to 100 Indian rupees per piece.
