A deeply provocative video filmed outside the Indian Consulate in Birmingham, UK, has gone viral on social media, depicting an ISIS-style execution scene of a man wearing a mask of PM Modi.
An ISIS-style execution scene featuring an actor wearing PM Modi’s mask was staged publicly by Islamist extremist Shakeel Afsar.

Only in UK, Islamists can so brazenly promote violence.

The video, reportedly shot outside Ramgee House, which houses the Consulate General of India in Birmingham, shows a man wearing a Narendra Modi mask and dressed in a bright orange jumpsuit being aggressively manhandled by three masked men clad entirely in black balaclavas and tactical-style clothing. The extremists force the ‘Modi’ figure to his knees while waving placards carrying incendiary slogans such as “Kashmir will be liberated!” and “Modi’s foreign policy: Made in Tel Aviv.”
Styled as a mock “Live Breaking News” broadcast, the video is presented by a group identifying itself as “Deenified.” In the footage, a spokesperson directly addresses the camera, declaring that the group has “arrested Narendra Modi” and branding the Indian Prime Minister “genocidal.” Calling for mass mobilisation, the speaker urges supporters to “join the movement” and claims that “one day we will have Modi in handcuffs like this,” framing the theatrical detention as a symbolic preview of their political ambitions.
What has triggered the sharpest reaction, however, is the video’s unmistakable visual resemblance to ISIS hostage execution videos. The orange jumpsuit, masked captors dressed in black, and the forced kneeling pose strongly evoke the propaganda aesthetic associated with ISIS terrorist Mohammed Emwazi, better known as ‘Jihadi John’, who appeared in several notorious execution videos involving Western hostages.
