Truth

The viral photo is neither a result of TMC worker’s attack, nor is this from West Bengal.
The photo is from Jharkhand, it’s a result of attack by a Langur.

This incident happened on 9th April 2021 in Baghmara, Jharkhand, The CISF official was on duty where the langur attacked him.

We called up Baghmara Police station who confirmed the incident. They also gave us the contact number of CISF in Bahgmara , who also confirmed the same. Bahghmara Police told us that this Langur issue has been going on in that area for long and are in talks with the forest officials to solve it.
