What FACTLY found

The young man in the image is actually an honour killing victim, who was allegedly killed by goons hired by his father-in-law back in 2018 in Telangana’s Nalgonda district. The woman in the post is his wife and the photo was clicked on their son’s first birthday. The image has nothing to do with the Pulwama attack
