What FACTLY found
This image is of former Punjab minister Sucha Singh Langah of the Akali Dal and the image is available on internet at least since 2018. However the original does not show any condom pack in his pocket. This image is digitally morphed so as to look like Langah is carrying a condom packet in his pocket
