Maha Kumbh: Action taken against 53 social media accounts for spreading misinformation

On February 13, cyber monitoring revealed two misleading videos falsely linked to the Maha Kumbh. One video, originally shared as a fire at the Maha Kumbh bus stand with claims that 40-50 vehicles were destroyed, actually showed a pipeline fire in Cairo from July 14, 2020. Investigations confirmed the misrepresentation.
