The Delhi Police on Friday clarified that the two videos, claiming to be of a terror attack on a gurdwara, being circulated on social media are fake.
The videos are not from any religious place in Delhi, it said. Two videos of around two minutes each showed a pickup truck chasing people and hitting some of them outside what appears to be a gurdwara. Angry people at the spot are then seen beating up the driver of the vehicle.
An X user posted photos and said, “Terror attack outside Gurdwara Seesganj Sahib, New Delhi. Allegedly one “H” extremist ran over his SUV over numerous Sikh men, women & children.”
Taking to X, Delhi Police on its official account said, “Some videos are being circulated on social media handles claiming that it was a terrorist attack at Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib. These videos are completely false and are being propagated with some malicious intent, on which legal action is being taken.” A case may be registered for spreading fake news, a police officer said.
