Claim: A video shows the police catching two Muslim men with guns hidden in ghee cans.
Fact-check: An old 2019 video of Delhi Special Cell arresting two men with guns in ghee cans is shared with false claim that the accused are Muslims - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral video dates back to 23 september 2019, when the delhi police special cell arrested two men, jitendra and raj bahadur, in the ghazipur area with 26 pistols and hidden in ghee cans. dcp pramod kushwaha of the special cell identified the accused and stated that acting on a tip-off about an illegal arms supplier from madhya pradesh, the police stopped a vehicle and found the pistols dipped in ghee inside large cans. the accused are not muslim. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
