Delhi cops crack down on ‘fake news’ during protests

The sources further said on October 10, during the Cockroach Janta Party’s protest, several Pakistani social media handles had circulated false reports claiming that multiple people had died during the protests.

The posts were reportedly intended to spread misinformation and create panic amid the prevailing situation.

Additionally, sources said approximately 500 social media posts had been taken down so far for allegedly spreading rumours or attempting to create unrest among people.

The action is part of the ongoing efforts to monitor online platforms and curb the circulation of misleading content that could potentially disturb public order.
