What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
The truth is that this picture is entirely digitally altered and unrelated to reality. The Burj Khalifa’s official website and social media accounts did not contain any such image. This image was created by a user known for Photoshop/editing. Similar allegations were made during Ram Navami in March of the previous year.
