What FACTLY found

The photo shared in the post is an old one. This photo was captured in January 2013 when Pragya Singh Thakur was taken for medical examination at the Jawaharlal Nehru Cancer Hospital in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. However, Pragya Singh Thakur recently got admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben hospital, after she complained of a problem in breathing. It is nowhere mentioned that the reason for her illness was drinking cow urine
