An old video of a man breaking Sai Baba's idol is viral as a recent incident with a false claim that the idol was broken following a court order that said Sai Baba was a Muslim. BOOM found that the claims are false and the video is from March 2021.
The two-minute long video shows a man using a metal rod to break Hindu spiritual leader Sai Baba's idol as a few others stand by and watch. Towards the end of the video, one man is heard saying that Sai Baba is a Muslim who died in 1918, and that he is not a god. He also says that people should instead worship Chandra Shekhar Azad, Shivaram Rajguru, and Bhagat Singh.
It is being shared with the caption, "Due to the court order that Sai Baba is a Muslim, all Baba's nests..Idols of our Hindu Goddesses..are destroyed."
