When we tried to investigate the truth behind janeu picture, it was revealed that the photo is from  Priyanka's Varanasi tour. The photo of the alleged Janeu white yarn is found in the photo. The claim of this photo proved false even when many news reports and video footage of the Varanasi tour was found.

मैने पुरूषों को तो जनेउ धारण करते देखा हैं क्योंकि जनेऊ पहनने से पुरुषों को बृहम्चारी का पालन करना पडता है।
लेकिन प्रियंका गांधी जी को जनेऊ धारण करने की क्या जरुरत पड गयी ।आप फोटो मे साफ देख सकते है। pic.twitter.com/yCkiHDlas2

A Facebook user, 'Brij Singh', posted four photos of Priyanka with the caption: After all, who are you @Priyankagandhi? (Aakhir kaun ho tum? @Priyankagandhi).
