A 34-second clip shows a man mixing a liquid (presumable water) inside milk cans and dipping his arm to stir the contents. The clip is circulating on the Indian social media ecosystem. “Look at the condition. They are openly mixing water in milk cans and perhaps spitting inside the cans. Now even our milkmen will have to be Sanatani. #Spit_Jihad_Peacefuls” – reads the accompanying message in Hindi. 

The same clip is viral on social media with a different caption urging people to not buy food and drinks from Muslims and boycott the community. 

भाईयो मुस्लिम वर्ग के लोगो से खाने पीने की चीजे ना ले,हिंदू थोड़ा महंगा तो देगा पर सही देगा,मुस्लिमों का बहिष्कार करो…!!

Video from Pakistan

We broke down the video into different keyframes and performed a reverse image search. One of the frames led us to a Facebook post on a Pakistani group named ‘The Voice Of Pakistan News’. This video is 1:08 minutes in length and has a higher resolution.

Several other Pakistani users posted the video with the same caption in Urdu. A keyword search on Facebook led us to a post by ‘Power Plus News Multan Pakistan’ which said that the incident is from Lahore main road.

A closer look at the cargo loader in the video shows the name of the brand ‘Siwa‘ which is a Pakistani auto manufacturing company. We have juxtaposed an image of a Siwa cargo loader with the one seen in the video. A video from Pakistan is therefore circulating on Indian social media.
