A 2.20-minute-long video that shows a scuffle is being widely shared on social media. The clip also shows a woman falling down amid the chaos and two others in burkhas getting into a car and leaving. The crowd then attends to the woman who fell down on the road.
Social media users are sharing this clip with a ‘Love Jihad’ angle. It is claimed that a 22-year-old Hindu woman married a Muslim man in court and called her mother a ‘kafir’ (infidel). This is when the mother fell down and had a heart attack.
Premium subscribed X (formerly Twitter) user akhilesh tripathi advo (@highcourtallad) shared the clip on February 14 with a caption in Hindi that can be translated as: “Near the car, a 22-year-old chartered accountant girl wearing is standing wearing a black burqa who has just recently had a court marriage. Right beside her, her mother, dressed in red, is crying and trying to explain to the girl while hugging her. The girl, calling her mother a non-believer, pushes her away. The mother has a heart attack and falls to the ground, while the girl comfortably sits in the car and drives away. The peace messengers standing above are happily saying that one burden has been reduced. Whether you provide today’s education to earn money or not, give religious education to Hindus, otherwise, you will be ruined. 😯” The tweet has received over 3.2 Lakh views and has been retweeted over 2,200 times.
