Fact: Photo shared as a liquor card from Andhra Pradesh government is photoshopped version of a State Bank of India (SBI) card. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When the photo in the post was searched using Google reverse image technique, a similar photo was found in a 2017 ‘Business Today’ article.
