Kisne feka: The viral claim implies that the figure of Nandi is located in Varanasi, facing the alleged Shivalinga in the Gyanvapi mosque.
Foolproof: The viral claim is false. The viral image is not related to Gyanvapi Mandir. The photograph was published on Shutterstock’s official website on August 1, 2011. According to the description, the Nandi Bull statue is part of the complex of Kashi Vishweshwar temple in Wai, Maharashtra. It is situated at the confluence of the Krishna and Venna rivers. There is a Nandi bull statue within the main temple shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The Shiva Linga was excavated at My Son in Quang Nam province of Vietnam. The discovery was made as part of the ongoing conservation project at the Cham Temple Complex, Vietnam.
Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar tweeted about the discovery and affirmed the report.

Delhi government ordered to refund Muslim students school fee
जब हम कहते है की @ArvindKejriwal मुस्लिम तुष्टिकरण करते है तो ग़लत नहीं होता।
एक और मुस्लिम तुष्टिकरण का उदाहरण।

Foolproof: The viral claim is false. A report by Times Now Hindi states that under the order by the Delhi Government, students from the Scheduled Tribes, Minorities, Scheduled Castes, and Other Backward Classes in the classes 1-12 are guaranteed tuition fee refund. The goal is to provide good education at a low cost. After increasing the fees arbitrarily, the government took the measure. After this circular, private schools were made to lessen the increased fees.
According to the official website of the Delhi Minorities Commission, Minority Communities, as per the Act, are Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Christians, Buddhists, and Parsis. For eligibility, the student’s family income should be less than three lakhs, and they should be a resident of Delhi.
