Arunachal Police Warn X User Over Fake Army Casualty Video
Imagine someone posted online that soldiers in a border area got hurt in a fight, and bad guys captured some places.
But the police in that area said, 'Nope, that didn't happen!'
They warned the person who posted it that it's against the law to spread fake news, especially about soldiers.
The police take this very seriously because it's a sensitive border region.
Meanwhile, the soldiers in that area have actually been doing a good job stopping bad guys from attacking them.
They've had successful operations where they stopped attacks and even caught one bad guy.
So, while someone tried to spread bad information, the real story is that the soldiers are protecting the area.
Arunachal Pradesh Police warned an X user against spreading fake news about Indian Army casualties.
The fake post falsely claimed high casualties in the Assam Rifles during a firefight with Naga insurgents.
Police confirmed no such incident was reported and emphasized that spreading misinformation is a cognizable offense.
The state police are taking a serious view of the disinformation aimed at the armed forces in a sensitive border region.
Concurrently, the Assam Rifles have conducted successful counter-insurgency operations against ULFA(I) and NSCN-K(YA) in the Northeast.
