What FACTLY found
The person with Rahul Gandhi in the picture is Britain’s Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn and not the producer of BBC documentary on Gujarat riots. The image was taken in May 2022 when Rahul Gandhi called on Corbyn in London. Whereas, according to BBC, Richard Cookson is the series Producer and Mike Radford is the Executive Producer of the controversial documentary series. Further, there are no reports linking Jeremy Corbyn to the documentary
