A photo shared thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook and Twitter appears to show Prime Minister Narendra Modi dining with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. The photo has been doctored from a 2015 image of the Pakistani leader with his then-wife Reham Khan.
The photo was published in a Facebook post on April 11, 2019 and has been shared more than 3,200 times.
