We at News Sense received the photograph with request to find out the truth behind the picture. We started our investigation and did a simple Google Reverse Image Search. The search took us to a news report published by Dainik Jagran, published on 10th April 2021.
The report says, ASI SP Sharma of CISF was on duty at the CISF camp at Bhimakanali, where he was attacked and injured by a langur and left him with a deep wound in his cheek. He was rushed to Baghmara Regional Hospital from where the Central Hospital has been referred. For the past several days there has been panic of langurs around the area. The incident occured in Baghmara in Jharkhand. Here is the full report – CISF Jawan injured by Langurs
