Viral Sach: Mumbai mosque celebrated Pakistan’s victory over India?

It is being claimed that the video belongs to a mosque in Mumbai's Meera road where people celebrated Pakistan's triumph.

NEW DELHI: An inspired Pakistan hammered a blundering India by 180 runs to lift the ICC Champions Trophy, at The Oval on Sunday, riding on a scintillating hundred from opener Fakhar Zaman and a sensational bowling spell from Mohammed Aamir. This was Pakistan's first ICC title triumph since their 2009 World Twenty20 win, but more importantly it broke the jinx of not performing against India in big ticket matches. For a team that can't play international cricket at home due to security issues, the victory has far-reaching implications. It was a match where everything went awry for the 'Men in Blue' from the time Kohli went out for the toss. Days after India's Champions Trophy Final defeat, a video has gone viral on social media showing hundreds of people donned in white attire with skull caps on their heads celebrating Pakistan's victory over India. It is being claimed that the video belongs to a mosque in Mumbai's Mira road where people celebrated Pakistan's triumph. However, during investigation it was ascertained that no Mumbai mosque ever glorified India's defeat. "The premises or place shown in the video cannot be a mosque because it's prohibited to install TV sets inside places of prayer," said a resident of Mira road. When the video was monitored closely, it was established that the clip was not shot inside any Indian mosque. Moreover, as per the clip people cheering for Pakistan were watching the match aired on PTV sports, the official broadcaster of ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan. FACT: The video was shot in Pakistan where people are supporting and cheering for their team’s victory against arch rivals India. It's a celebration of Pakistan's win by Pakistanis and not by Indians as claimed by a few hatemongers on social media.
