What's the context?: As per reports, former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav recently targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for accusing other parties of dynastic politics, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

• Yadav attacked PM Modi saying, "What can we do if Narendra Modi does not have a family of his own?"

• Following this, several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders started add 'Modi Ka Parivaar' next to their names on their official X handles.

Are these claims true? Neither are these screenshots real nor is there any truth in the viral claims. The images have been fabricated to mislead the viewers.

Italian PM Meloni’s X account: We checked PM Meloni's official X handle and found that she had not added the said words next to her name.

No news reports available: It should be noted that if PM Meloni had indeed added 'Modi Ka Parivar' next to her name, it would have received significant media attention given the importance of both personalities involved.

What we found on Ranaut's account?: On checking the actor's official X handle, it became clear that she has not added anything related to PM Modi next to her name.

About Devgan's X account: Team WebQoof went through the anchor's X handle and did not come across anything mention of PM Modi next to the former's name.

• It became further clear the viral screenshot is being shared to take a dig at Devgan.
