Fake news being spread about holidays to school and colleges again
Mangaluru: As the District Administration announced series of holidays to schools and colleges in the backdrop of heavy rain a report of Vartha Bharati website was altered and a screenshot of the news was widely shared with altered date to spread fake news. Vartha Bharati will now take legal route to prosecute the miscreants.
Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District have been experiencing heavy rains in the last few days and District Administrations in both the Districts have been declaring holidays in the wake of rains. Miscreants have been spreading fake news on social media sites including Facebook and WhatsApp to create confusion among locals. The District Administrations have also stressed upon confirming news and trusting reliable news sources to authenticate such reports.
This is the second time in last few days that such incident has been reported wherein miscreants have tried to spread fake news by altering news reports and its dates.
A police complaint in this regard will be filed by Vartha Bharati against miscreants who edited the screenshot of the news and circulated it on social media. Those found guilty will be prosecuted.
