In the play, we can see police officers requesting a Muslim man, who insists on visiting a mosque, to offer prayers at his home. The man doesn&#8217;t listen to the police and starts to pray in public. That&#8217;s when three men enacting the coronavirus enters the scene and infect the man. Subsequently, the Muslim man is taken by the medical staff and quarantined. The skit ends with a police officer instructing people to do puja or read namaz at home.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3CALOHkQDac<\/p>\n<p>The message shared with the viral video suggests that Bhopal Police claimed that Muslims are responsible for the spreading COVID19.
