Fact Checked: The injured soldier in this viral picture is NOT an Indian

Date:

In the wake of the Pulwama attack, yet another picture is going viral on social media.

This picture claims that this soldier resumed duty despite being injured when he heard that the Indian Army has been given free hand to decide the time and place of retaliation (death of 40 CRPF soldiers in the Pulwama attack).

” सेना के घायल जवान को पता चलते ही
कि सेना को खुली छूट मिल गयी
इलाज के बीच से उठकर दुश्मन से बदला लेने
अस्पताल से बाहर निकल आया।
ये है हमारी सेना का जज्बा ।।
“”जय हिंद ,, वन्देमातरम ” ” – the post read.
