Dr Manmohan Singh's daughters: With a relevant keyword search, we came across an article by The Indian Express from 2014 which was headlined: "Former PM Manmohan Singh releases ‘Strictly Personal’ book by daughter"

  • It was a photo story and featured an image of his three daughters: Amrit Singh, Daman Singh and Upinder Singh.

One of his daughters, Amrit Singh worked in the Accountability Division at the Open Society Justice Initiative where she oversaw projects on numerous rule of law and human rights issues, according to her profile on Stanford Law School's website.

Conclusion: Social media users have shared an image of George Soros with his wife with the false claim that it shows former PM Singh's daughter with him.
