More than a dozen First Information Reports (FIRs) have been filed against 140 social media handles for spreading ‘misleading content’ about the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj, police said.
“13 FIRs have been registered against 140 social media handles that shared misleading content,” Maha Kumbh DIG Vaibhav Krishna told ANI.
The Uttar Pradesh Police’s social media cell has been keeping a close eye on social media platforms, particularly after objectionable videos of women pilgrims taking bath in the Triveni Sangam, were shared there.
