Fact Check:
To analyze the reality of the viral picture the team of DFRAC did the reverse image search. We found a similar picture on Dainik Bhaskar’s website, which was published on September 24, 2022. According to this report, this photo is from the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan.
According to the news, a 5-feet pit had instantaneously formed on Pali Road in front of Bhagat Ki Kothi Station Road in Jodhpur, in which an elderly man passing through on a scooter fell. The locals had somehow rescued the elderly man.
Conclusion:
It is clear from the verification of DFRAC that the viral picture is not of Purvanchal Expressway of UP but of Pali Road of Jodhpur. Therefore, the claim of social media is misleading.
