Imran Khan’s doctored photo goes viral on social media!
A new photo has emerged online following the PTI founder’s conviction in the Cipher case on Tuesday.
A notorious graphic designer morphed an old image of a PTI founder sitting in the courtroom making him appear sporting a full-grown beard.
However, that’s not the case.

As per the iVerify platform, after conducting a reverse image search and scanning the photo in question through a fake image-detecting tool, it emerged that the viral photo seemed to be either computer-generated or a modified image.
The reverse image search of the tampered photo provided a post by PTI lawyer Mashal Yousafzai on X from August 1, 2023.
The lawyer had posted the same photo, where the beard in question was notably missing.
