New Delhi: A video of alleged BJP supporters getting kicked off a Mumbai train is going viral, with posts claiming that they were kicked out since a 10-year-old girl was traveling in the train.

The video shows someone shouting ‘bahar nikalo’ (kick them out). One of the men can be seen wearing a BJP scarf.

However, this video was reportedly made during the BJP foundation day celebrations on 6 April in Mumbai. The people seen in the video were allegedly traveling in the train without a ticket. The people seen in the video had allegedly barged into the train to attend Amit Shah’s rally.
