A video surfaced online from Bhopal's Ayodhya Nagar showing police officers accompanied by Bajrang Dal activists warning a local gym owner against permitting Muslim trainers or trainees, despite the absence of any formal complaints from gym members.
According to reports, police intervened following allegations that a Muslim trainer had been interacting with Hindu women members.
During the visit, the trainer's mobile phone was allegedly checked, but nothing was found to indicate inappropriate interaction with Hindu women members.
In the viral video, a Sub-Inspector (SI) can be heard instructing staff that "no Muslim would be allowed to come here either to give training or receive it".
Reports state that in the police's presence, Bajrang Dal workers questioned female staff about Muslim trainers. The entire incident was recorded on video and later went viral on social media.
Following this, ACP Akshay Chaudhary stated that action would be taken after investigation.
