Claim: Video Shows A Muslim Woman Driving Her Car On The Railway Tracks

The video shows visuals of a clash between a group of men and the woman who appears to wear a black attire that covers her face. Windows of her car are damaged as the mob tries to forcefully pull her out. The video is being shared on Facebook and WhatsApp with the caption, "Forget Abdul, even Fatima is not forgetting her purpose, some mullah has definitely brainwashed her. But how did she come here. This video is being told from Telangana." (Translated from the Hindi caption:अब्दुल तो छोड़ो फ़ातिमा भी अपना मकसद नहीं भूल रही है,पक्का किसी मुल्ले ने इसे ब्रेन वॉश किया हुआ है लेकिन ये आयी कैसे यहा पर, ये विडिओ तेलंगाना का बताया जा रहा है)
