YouTuber booked for allegedly spreading false information about Haryana CET
PANCHKULA: Police have registered a case against a YouTuber for allegedly circulating misleading and false information about the Haryana Common Eligibility Test (CET) through social media.
According to Inspector Rupesh Chaudhary, Station House Officer of Sector-5 police station, the complaint was filed on August 1, 2025, by Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) official Kedar Singh, reported The Indian Express on Monday.
