How did we find out the truth?: We performed a relevant keyword search about Gandhi and Amrit Singh but did not find any recent reports or photos of the duo.

  • We found Supriya Shrinate, the chairperson of Congress’s social media cell, had shared details about this image refuting the viral claim.

  • She stated that the viral photo shows Gandhi with his childhood friend Amitabh Dubey and Dubey's wife, Amulya.

  • Dubey is in-charge of research and monitoring at AICC Media, the communications department of Congress and he is also the president of the Delhi branch of All India Professionals Congress.

  • Dubey's wife seen in the picture, Amulya Gopalakrishnan, is a columnist at The Economic Times, Times of India, The Frontline and The Indian Express.

  • We have also contacted Dubey for a comment, and the story will be updated once we receive a response.

Conclusion: A photo showing Rahul Gandhi with Amitabh Dubey and Amulya Gopalakrishnan is going viral to falsely claim that he was spotted with Amrit Singh.
