New Delhi explosion: Old, out-of-context images mislead online

Description

The Indian government says it's treating the explosion outside the capital's historic Red Fort as a "terrorist incident", after at least 12 people were killed and scores more wounded. But visuals purporting to show the blast online are being misrepresented, often using old and unrelated images from elsewhere. It's a move often seen during tragedies due to panic and in a bid to drum up engagement. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake.
