      Video Of Supermarket Fire Peddled As Muslims Setting Fire To A Temple In Birmingham

      A video of a brawl that broke out in front of a supermarket engulfed in fire in United Kingdom's Birmingham is circulating on social media with a false communal claim that it shows Muslims beating Hindus after setting a temple on fire during the Navratri festival.

      BOOM found that the video shows an accidental fire which broke out on September 19, 2022 at a Birmingham supermarket. As per West Midlands police, the brawl took place due to an argument over car parking.

      The video is being shared amid recent reports of clashes between people from Hindu and Muslim communities at Leicester in England. According to media reports, the tension began after India won a cricket match against Pakistan on August 28 in the Asia Cup held in Dubai. Following which hostilities kept simmering in the month of September. The violence led Indian High Commision in UK to release an official statement condemning the attack.

      The caption with the video reads, "Birmingham temple burnt by muslim during Navratri. Hindus beaten up England police ineffective in Saving Hindus". (sic)

      "Fight Connected To Parking Issue"

      We also found a tweet from the official handle of West Midlands Police in response to a query about the brawl. The police informed that the fight took place due to a car parking issue and was separate from the fire incident.

      We believe the fight was connected to an issue with the parking of some cars and that it was an isolated incident.
