The communal venom is adding to the miseries amidst the time of this pandemic. A viral video that has come from Mumbai is showing these dangerous Islamophobic scenes. A 51-year-old man inquired about the religion of the man who came to deliver groceries to him.
After learning that he was a Muslim the man refused to receive the groceries.
