“Military veteran and retired captain PPS Dhillon injured his eye in the recent farmers protest”
What FACTLY found
The photo collage actually does not show the same person. The Sikh man in army uniform is actually PPS Dhillon, a retired Army Captain. His son shared this image on Facebook on the occasion of his birthday. When we reached out to his son, he cleared the air saying that man with the injured eye is not his father, and also that his father is not associated with the ongoing farmers’ protest
