A Brazilian photographer, Matheus Ferrero, had to delete his social media accounts after becoming entangled in Indian politics when Rahul Gandhi used a 2017 stock photo he took of Larissa Nery as evidence of alleged voter fraud in Haryana's elections. The image, which appears multiple times in voter lists with different Indian names, has sparked controversy as Gandhi accuses the Election Commission of helping BJP, while officials question why Congress polling agents didn't raise objections during voting.
