Video Of A Dargah Demolition Peddled As Muslims Break Hindu Temple In Kerala

FactCheck

BOOM found that the religious structure is not a temple and the incident was a dispute between two Muslim groups in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, and did not involve any Communal angle. We had previously debunked the same video when it was being shared with the communal claim in October 2022. BOOM had then spoken to Guntur Police who confirmed that the structure being demolished is a dargah and not a temple. Lalapet police station circle inspector Prabhakar speaking to BOOM had stated that it was a dispute within the Muslim community about whether a mosque should be built or the structure / dargah should remain as it is. The police told BOOM while there is no tomb inside, the locals revered the place as a dargah.
