Fact-check: The viral claim is misleading. The TOI report notes that a clash broke out between two groups over cold drinks during Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ movie screening at a cinema hall in Amroha. Police arrested two people in connection with the clash after the video went viral, and the incident happened after the late-night show of the movie got finished.

Foolproof: Hind is an Arabic name that has roots in the region’s ancient civilisation. The renaming of an area in Dubai as Hind City does not refer to any country. Also, “Hind is an English surname and an Arabic female given name.”
