Punjab cyber police have filed a case after a misleading video about the state government circulated online, prompting an investigation.
The cyber crime wing of Punjab police has opened a formal case following the online circulation of a video that misrepresented the state government's actions and the overall situation in Punjab. Authorities said the clip contained false statements that could create public confusion and undermine confidence in the administration.
Police officials identified the source of the video and initiated the investigation under the Information Technology Act, which penalises the dissemination of deceptive content. The cyber unit has warned that those responsible may face legal action for spreading misinformation.
The registration of the case underscores the state's effort to curb the spread of false narratives on digital platforms, especially those that target government policies or public order. No further details about the individuals involved or the exact content of the video have been released at this stage.
