Original review summary

FACTLY reports that Bahrain Police said six Asian individuals were detained for sharing war-related images, but none was named Nitin Mohan. It also reports that Bahrain-based outlet Al Ayam, the Press Information Bureau and the Ministry of External Affairs rejected the viral claim; FACTLY says the image appears to have used a photo from an unrelated arrest as a template.[S1]
