A video uploaded on 3 June by the Instagram account @hindutvawatchin has sparked questions about a weapons training session reportedly organised by members of the Rashtriya Bajrang Dal in Mumbai’s Chembur area. The outfit is an affiliate of Pravin Togadia’s Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad, formed after he left the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. The footage shows a group of young men and women dressed in T-shirts bearing the Rashtriya Bajrang Dal logo, engaged in what appears to be a weapon training drill.
Since the video has not been widely shared, The Quint has not been able to independently verify the date on which it was shot or the exact nature of the weapons used. Hindutva Watch has claimed that the video is from 1 June.
