A court has extended the deadline for submitting a report concerning the alleged circulation of a fake screenshot during the Vadakara Lok Sabha election. The screenshot falsely labelled LDF candidate K.K. Shailaja as 'kafir' to provoke communal discord.
A judicial deadline for submitting a report on a controversial case has been extended by the court. The case pertains to the alleged dissemination of a fabricated screenshot during the recent Vadakara Lok Sabha election campaign.

Authorities are investigating the origins and circulation of the fake image. The court's decision to grant an extension suggests the need for further investigation or the submission of more comprehensive findings before proceedings can advance.
