A 35-second clip showing a group of individuals — a few men wearing skullcaps and a woman wearing a burqa — being carried away by the police is circulating on social media. The man recording the video confronts the group and repeatedly asks in Dakhni or Deccani how they had the audacity to kidnap a minor.<\/p>\n

Sharing this clip on Twitter, pro-BJP propaganda outlet Sudarshan News<\/a> wrote in Hindi, “They can be identified from their clothes in Bangalore? Kidnappers were caught red-handed at the Shivaji Nagar bus stop. Gathering of child kidnappers happening in the city, everyone should stay cautious…” The first part of the caption is a dog whistle against the Muslim community, which alludes to a comment made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019<\/a> when anti-CAA-NRC protests were at their peak in 2019.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user called Amitabh Chaudhary, who frequently shares misinformation on social media, shared the same clip<\/a> and wrote that he would not be surprised if the accused turned out to be ‘illegal Bangladeshi or Rohingya’. He further said that Bangalore was sitting on a ‘time bomb’ for a long time due to Muslim ‘appeasement & settlement’.<\/p>\n
