Several users on Twitter shared image of Dhoni and his wife Sakshi sitting at a petrol pump.
September 10 saw the Indian National Congress party shutting the nation down in a Bharat Bandh in protest of the constant rise in prices of petrol and diesel under the NDA government.
The Bandh was moderately successful in place, as the nation saw unrest. However a bizarre news came out of the Bandh and that was of former India captain MS Dhoni joining the protest and supporting Bharat Bandh. The news was peddled on social media platform Twitter.

TRUTH
MS Dhoni never participated in any bandh or protest of any kind. The image that has been peddled as the proof of his participation, was actually taken at at a Hindustan Petroleum pump in Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla this August. Dhoni along with Sakshi and his hair stylist Sapna Bhavnani had visited Himachal for an ad shoot.
