A photo of Ratan Tata is being circulated on social media along with an image of a bus. It is being claimed that Ratan Tata has provided bulletproof and bomb-proof buses to the Indian Army. The posts can be seen here, here, and here. This is not true. Check the links shared below to know the facts:
This bus was handed over to the Central Reserve Police Force by the metal manufacturing Hyderabad-based group, Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI) in 2017. The bus designed by MIDHANI was primarily to be used in Jammu and Kashmir.
