These unverified posts are targeting protesting students and Delhi Police alike. The Quint's WebQoof team has identified and debunked at least nine fake news stories in the past five days.

Let's go over them today.

One of the most viral video clips, shared by many BJP functionaries including the party's IT cell head Amit Malviya, hit out at students of Aligarh Muslim University for raising 'anti-Hindu' slogans.

In his tweet, Malviya said that “AMU students are chanting Hinduon ki kabr khudegi, AMU ki dharti par..”' and this particular tweet has garnered over 11,000 reactions.
