This video was posted on 2nd April, way before the fruit stall incident in Jamshedpur.

On searching this TikTok account, it was also revealed that this man resides at Nava Bandar, a coastal village in Gujarat. The lighthouse visible in the viral video (at 9 sec) can also be found in different videos posted on this same account.

A same lighthouse can be found on this website about coastlines of India- Click here

Also Jamshedpur not having a coastline doesn’t have a lighthouse. Hence this is an old video that has become viral now with false claims. This video became viral after the Jamshedpur police remived banner from fruit stalls that said “Hindu Fruit Shop”.
