Is this image real?: No, the image has been generated using the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and does not show a real visual.
There is no evidence to prove that PM Modi recently met Munir.
Anomalies in the viral image: Team WebQoof took a closer look at the viral image and found several discrepancies, which indicated that it was generated using AI tools.
The text seen on Munir's shirt did not make a proper word, which is a common feature spotted in AI-generated images.
The other anomaly was that PM Modi's glasses could be seen merging with his nose.
What did AI detection tools show?: We passed the image through two detection tools namely — 'Hive Moderation' and 'Sight Engine' to further verify its authenticity.
While the first tool showed over 99 percent, the second one gave around 89 percent probability of the image being an AI-generated one.
