On Thursday, PM Narendra Modi made his way to flood-hit Chennai and announced a relief fund of Rs 1, 000 crore.

Press Information Bureau, a state-run outlet which issues official press releases and news updates, tweeted a photo of PM Modi making an aerial survey of flood-hit city and adjoining areas.

The photo showed a seated Modi looking — through the circular window of a chopper — at rooftops and submerged streets with a remarkable clarity.

Except, the same PIB had already tweeted an image earlier which showed Modi surveying the hazy exterior, which apparently showed the submerged expanse of Chennai.

The ever-alert folks on Twitter immediately began asking why the PIB had to tweet a photoshopped image.

An embarrassed PIB promptly deleted the tweet, but has offered no explanation for the blunder so far.
