Delhi Police identified and blocked over 480 Pakistan-based social media accounts spreading misinformation during the ongoing Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protests at Jantar Mantar, as well as during the earlier Operation Sindoor. Authorities allege these accounts circulated fake news, edited videos, and rumors aimed at provoking students and misleading the public. Police urged students and citizens to verify information from official sources and avoid sharing unverified content, emphasizing respect for peaceful protests and warning against attempts to disrupt public order.
