TRUTH
The picture was taken on February 10, 2020, from the engagement ceremony and not from the wedding.
Using reverse image search that led us to several Media reports in which the viral picture was used. The picture was taken on February 10, 2020, when CM Yediyurappa attended the engagement ceremony of Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Gowda at Taj West End in Bengaluru. India was not under lockdown at the time.
