Delhi Police Act Against Misleading Jantar Mantar Protest Videos, Probe Online Campaign
Delhi police have taken action against social media accounts spreading misleading videos falsely suggesting ongoing protests at Jantar Mantar, issuing takedown notices to platforms like Meta and X. The police and government fact-check units confirmed no recent protests have occurred since the Cockroach Janata Party ended its agitation. Additionally, authorities are investigating a coordinated online campaign involving over 400 Pakistan-linked social media handles and digital marketing firms suspected of amplifying protest-related content to exaggerate unrest.
