Claim: Video of Muslims opposing the installation of Ganesh statue in Hyderabad and damaging it.
Fact-check: A fight over Ganesh statue installation in Hyderabad is shared with a false communal narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: moghalpura police station sho has confirmed to factly that both the groups in the video are hindus. they are also distant relatives and that there is no communal angle to the incident. a minor scuffle broke out when one group opposed the installation of the ganesh state in front of their house while the other group argued that there were installing the statue at the same place for many years. also, the statue was not damaged during the fight. it was damaged during transport i.e. before the fight took place. hence the claim made in the post is false.
