Three people were arrested in
communally sensitive Malegaon township in Maharashtra's Nashik for a coronavirus rant video which they uploaded on Tiktok, police said on Saturday.

An Azadnagar police station official identified the three as Abdul Rahim Qureshi (27), Sayyad Ali (23) and Sufiyan Shaikh Mukhtar (24).
"They are residents of Raunaknagar in Malegaon. They have been remanded in police custody for promoting enmity among people," he said.
