A video showing some people dragging people on the road to protest is widely shared on social media, claiming that “protesting jihadi activists were thrown off the road by local citizens of France.”
The video is shared on Facebook with a caption: “फ्रांस” में तथाकथित “भांड-जिहादी आंदोलनजीवियो” को “कॉलर” से पकड़ पकड़ कर घसीट कर सड़क से उठाकर फेंकते हुए स्थानीय नागरिक… यहां हिंदुस्तान की जनता को भी इसी तरह से… बात बात पर आंदोलन के नाम पर सड़क जाम करके बैठ जाने वाले लोगों के साथ में यही करना चाहिए” (English translation: In “France”, local citizens drag the so-called “Bhand-Jihadi agitators” by “collar” and throw them from the road… Here also, people of India are being treated in the same way… But this should be done with the people who block the road in the name of movement on every thing.)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be MISLEADING.
Extracting keyframes from the viral video and performing a Reverse Image Search, we identified the official YouTube channel of Sky News Arabia having the same viral video on December 1, 2022. The title and content of the video were both in Arabic (English translation: Pedestrians in France forcefully removed environmental activists demonstrating on the road.)
According to a report related to this video on the website of express.co.uk, protestors sitting near the Levallois bridge in Levallois-Perret, Paris, were brutally dragged to the road side by car drivers angry at the traffic jam caused by climate activists. Many other passers-by supported them in this. We could not find any mention of communal angle in any of the above reports.
Thus, it is clear that a video showing environmental activists demonstrating on a road in Paris is shared with a false communal angle.
