November 05, 2024
Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad Police announced on Monday that its Cyber Crime Branch has registered a case against a Twitter user operating under the handle “MissPayalGupta” for allegedly spreading misinformation intended to tarnish Gujarat’s reputation.
The Twitter account “MissPayalGupta” shared a video on November 1, claiming, “After the accident, the patient was brought to the hospital where, due to lack of space, the patient died in agony on the floor!! The video is said to be from Gujarat.”
However, investigations revealed that the video was actually from a hospital in Chhattisgarh. Following this finding, Minister of State for Home Affairs, Harsh Sanghavi, directed the Gujarat DGP to take strict legal action. In response, the Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Branch registered a case on November 3.
The video, originally from Chhattisgarh, was also shared by Bilaspur Congress President Deepak Bej and others, despite not being related to Gujarat. DeshGujarat
