A video which shows a sea of people in a market place flouting social distancing norms is being shared on social media with a claim that the video is from India. There are different claims with the message with one of them identifying the video from Hyderabad.

However, we found out that the video is not from Hyderabad but Pakistan.

CLAIM

The message with the video claims that Muslims in Hyderabad have come out to shop as the government has relaxed the lockdown norms.

“Social distance norms gone to digs for these pissfuls in old city hyderabad. Madina shopping centre scene. KCR taken dhrutarastra avatar. Home minister is Mehmood Ali taken avatar of Ghandari (sic),” the claim reads.
