Yogi Govt Cracks Down On Fake News About Mahakumbh: Cases Filed Against Seven Accounts

The Uttar Pradesh government has intensified its crackdown on misinformation about the Mahakumbh, with the police registering cases against seven social media accounts for spreading fake news. On the directives of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Director General of Police Prashant Kumar has identified and initiated action against individuals responsible for circulating false information.

Misleading Video Exposed

During routine social media monitoring, officials discovered that a 2021 video from Ghazipur, showing bodies on a riverbank, was falsely linked to an alleged stampede at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. The misleading posts aimed to tarnish the image of the state government and law enforcement while inciting social unrest.
The Uttar Pradesh Police swiftly debunked the misinformation, confirming that the viral footage had no connection to the Mahakumbh. The official Kumbh Mela Police account also issued a clarification to counter the misleading claims.

Legal Action Against Seven Accounts
