A video of a mob pelting stones at a police vehicle in Ahmedabad has resurfaced with claims that it is from Gujarat's Nadiad where Muslims are attacking the police in the backdrop of a lockdown to restrict the spread of the novel Coronavirus. The video has been captioned as, "In Nadiad Muslims are going against police and shooting them. Send the video to as many people as possible."
