The viral images show the board of a shipping company, FedEx behind the men. There is also another board which says, Parking Bus Stand written on it. A closer look at the board suggests that the place in question is Ludhiana and not Delhi as is being claimed in the viral post.

The viral post says that soon after the son got leave, the soldier rushed to the Delhi order to meet his father, who has been protesting for 75 days against the farm laws. However the images are not from Delhi, but from Ludhiana. Hence the claim being made on the social media are false.
