Fake Images: Busted

Image 1: A Twitter User, Saiyad Faizan Mustfa, posted an image of a boy crying in front of a dead body, saying its from Kashmir after the revocation of Article 370.

To check this image's authenticity, we searched it through Google Reverse Image search, and found out that -
The image was old and was used in multiple platforms in the year 2015, 2011 on the Pakistani website.
The image is related to Jammu & Kashmir Martyr's day.
Such images are used to mislead users on a large scale. This image was 'Fake' and is not from Kashmir after article 370 revoked as per the claims.




Image 2: Academic Madhu Purnima falls into the trap of fake news, mistakes Arya Stark as a blind Kashmiri girl
A Twitter user, Fan of Zaidu, posted a photo of Hollywood actress Arya Stark from series 'Game of Thrones' claiming her as a blind Kashmiri girl.
Indian Academic Madhu Purnima falls into the trap and retweets it on her account quoting 'This looks too filmy to be true. @FactCheckIndia to confirm if this is a real victim. What are Zakat Funds used for if not for poor and vulnerable?'

This is a perfect example of how people blindly believe about anything they see on the internet. As a citizen, everyone should be aware enough to find out if the claims are true or not. Such posts are used to mislead people on a large scale. Please never believe such images beforehand and recheck the facts online.
Several people replied to her on her thread and told her that the account which used the image was a parody account.
Here is the truth:
