A controversy erupted on social media after a video purportedly showing a group of people offering prayers at a mall surfaced.

It is worth noting that a right-wing organization had raised objections to offering namaz inside the mall and sought permission from the authorities to read Hanuman Chalisa there, which was turned down.

The case was registered on the complaint of the representatives of the mall.

However, the mall's managers claimed that the people seen in the video were not their staff members.
