Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur police have come under online flak recently for Photoshoping masks onto a constable and a murder accused on an online photo shared on Twitter.
India has the second-highest number of Covid-19 cases recorded in the world after the US, and the vaccine inoculation drive is yet to start. Social-distancing and masks are compulsory in India, and Uttar Pradesh also has a 500 rupees fine for not wearing a mask.
To keep up with the guidelines, Gorakhpur Police's Twitter account posted the photo, but the photo had a mask digitally Photoshop-ed onto the people in them. The photograph shows a a police constable and a murder accused standing by his side with surgical masks on. However, a non-Photoshoped version found its way online, leading people to troll the tweet for including the mask digitally.
