According to the report, the incident took place at Indore\u2019s Khatipura-Gori Nagar road on Thursday. People informed the police after seeing some notes scattered on the road after which they sanitised the notes and ceased them. Furthermore, the police went through the footage of near-by CCTV camera but they couldn\u2019t find a suspected vehicle or a person. The report nowhere identified the person suspected of having thrown the notes as a Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24111\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/Currency-Notes-Thrown-on-Indore-road-find-no-takers-Fearing-Coronavirus-Infection-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1153\" height=\"733\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans',serif;color: #444444\">We then reached out to Hira Nagar police station regarding this matter. In conversation with Alt News, station in-charge Rajiv Bhaduria said, \u201cIt is clear that any person or a Muslim didn\u2019t deliberate scatter the notes. Actually, the notes fell from the pocket of an Indane gas delivery guy. The person\u2019s name is Narendra Yadav and he is a resident of Indore\u2019s Gauri Nagar. Yadav had come to us to know about the notes. After listening to his story, we checked the CCTV footage and it became clear that these were his notes.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans',serif;color: #444444\">Thus, it is certain that these notes in Khatipura area of Indore were not deliberately thrown on the roadside by a member of the Muslim community to spread the coronavirus. A similar incident took place in Delhi with a man who had borrowed money from an ATM. A video of that incident was also shared with an anti-Muslim angle on social media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The number of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.covid19india.org\/\">positive cases of the novel coronavirus in India\u00a0<\/a>exceeds 17,000 and over to 500 deaths have so far been reported. The government has imposed a complete restriction on movement apart from essential services to tackle the pandemic. <a href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html\">Globally<\/a>, more than 24 lakh confirmed cases and close to 1.6 lakh deaths have been reported. There is a sense of panic among citizens, causing them to fall for a variety of online misinformation \u2013 misleading images and videos rousing fear or medical misinformation promoting pseudoscience and invalid treatments.
