      A video of a cop being assaulted in Delhi has been revived with false communal claims on social media.

      The video is doing the rounds with claims that he was attacked by Muslims for asking them to keep COVID-19 infected people in their prayers during the holy month of Ramzan. The video has surfaced amid the second wave of COVID-19. According to latest figures amidst partial lockdowns in most states, and the continuing surge of infections, lack of availability of oxygen supplies, medical aid and vaccines. BOOM found that the video is from Delhi.

      The same video was earlier viral on social media with a political narrative that stated that the assaulter belongs to the Bharatiya Janata Party. We had then reached out to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka), Santosh Kumar Meena, who said, "We have no information whether he is connected with the BJP or not. "

      BOOM received the video via its tipline with the text: Was this police officer assaulted because he asked muslims to keep covid affected persons in their prayers.
