A video of police displaying jewellery from a robbery in 2021 has been shared repeatedly with a false claim the haul had been "recovered" during a raid on the home of a Muslim working as a public relations officer at a prominent Hindu temple.

The 37-second video of a table covered in jewellery was shared on Facebook on January 6, 2025 .

A police spokesman told AFP they did not conduct the raid, while the temple's management rejected the claim and said it has never hired any Muslims .
