Fact check:
To analyze the viral claim of the video the team of DFRAC searched on social media. We have found a video and a poster posted on the Twitter handle of Prayagraj Police. Prayagraj Police said in this post that the name of the person seen in the video is Vaibhav Tripathi. He is a resident of Colonelganj in Prayagraj.
In this video, Vaibhav Tripathi said, that he comes to worship in the temple every day. He is a devotee of Thakur ji. He comes to the temple and sits in Vajrasana and worships sitting in Vajrasana, which was considered by social media users as a posture of namaz.
Conclusion:
After the clarification given by Prayagraj Police and Vaibhav Tripathi, it has become clear that namaz was not offered by any Muslim person in the temple. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is completely false.
