A video showing a group of people dressed in black and appearing to raise slogans is being widely shared on social media. Against the backdrop, a muted clip has gone viral with claims that a group of protesters outside the Israeli embassy in Delhi throwing petrol bombs.
A Facebook user posted the viral post with the following caption: 🚨Protestors in Delhi India outside Israeli embassy. Reports of petrol bombs being thrown at the Israeli embassy.🇮🇱

NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile went through the viral post closely, and found the claims to be False.
Identifying the NDTV logo at the top-right corner of the video, NewsMobile found the same video posted on NDTV’s official X account on March 1. As per the post description, the footage shows members of the Shia Muslim community protesting at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The protest was held to mourn the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Reports indicate that members of the Shia Muslim community held demonstrations and marches in several parts of India, including Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka.
However, there are no credible reports confirming any protest outside the Israeli embassy in Delhi or its consulates in Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show protests outside the Israeli embassy in Delhi, is false.
