Fake: Healthy Muslims are not being injected with coronavirus
New
Delhi,
Apr
03:
A
fake
video
on
WhatsApp
has
been
doing
the
rounds
in
which
it
is
claimed
that
healthy
Muslims
are
being
taken
away
and
injected
with
the
coronavirus.
This
video
has
been
doing
the
rounds
in
Madhya
Pradesh
and
became
the
main
reason
for
the
people
to
attack
health
workers.
The video is completely fake and is aimed at creating panic and inciting violence. It may be recalled that scores of people came out and attacked health workers and even pelted stones at them.
Those health workers who were attacked in Madhya Pradesh told the police that at first the people were cooperating. They even answered a few questions, but suddenly they started attacking.
Due to this fake video the residents of Tatapatti Bakal where the incident occurred are suspicious of the health workers. Police sources tell OneIndia that the people of this area were cooperating. It was only once this fake video started circulating, they became suspicious of the health workers and began attacking them.

Four persons have been booked in connection with the violence. All four have been booked under the stringent provisions of the National Security Act.
