Delhi explosion: old, out of context images mislead online

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 to drum up engagement. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake.
