Viral video shows crowd in cinema hall pledging to boycott Muslims, draws flak

VASAI (MAHARASHTRA): (Mar 17) A video, purportedly from Maharashtra’s Palghar district, showing people in a cinema hall chanting slogans and pledging to boycott Muslims socially and economically has triggered strong reactions.

Reacting to claims by a Congress MP that the viral video was shot in a cinema hall in Vasai on March 10, a senior police official from the Mira-Bhayandar Vasai-Virar (MBVV) Police Commissionerate told PTI on Tuesday that the veracity of the video is yet to be ascertained.

“We are not sure where it was shot and believe it could be mischief by some unscrupulous elements,” the police official said.
