CCTV footage from a toll plaza is being shared widely on social media. The footage depicts a group of individuals, some of whom are wearing Islamic caps, riding in a pickup truck. In the video, a few individuals are seen clashing with toll plaza employees and removing barricades to clear the path for their vehicle. One such post reads, “Just as the Muslims have opened the toll today, tomorrow the gate of your house will be opened in the same way. There is still time, treat these Jihadis along with the Congress and Indy parties that nurture them.”
X user Manoj Srivastava shared the video, reiterating the claims that Muslims were involved in vandalism at the toll plaza. (Archived link)
Another X user with the handle Mr. Nationalist also shared the footage, adding a caption that reads, “We want to save the future of Hindus and our country.” (Archived link)
The X handle @kreatelymedia, which regularly shares misleading and communal propaganda, also amplified the video. Their caption, translated to English, said “Will Toll Tax be taken from the scared and persecuted peace ambassadors of the country now?” (Archived link).
