Hyderabad: To counter social media misinformation targeting the Congress govt and its leaders, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee has lodged two complaints with Hyderabad police. Two FIRs were registered—one over false claims regarding the govt's fine rice scheme, and the other for a morphed video defaming chief minister A Revanth Reddy. The content was shared on X.
On Thursday, TPCC media coordinator K Srikanth Yadav filed a complaint with cyber crime police, stating he came across a misleading post on X. The post falsely claimed that Bhuvanagiri Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy made derogatory remarks about Revanth. "The video was morphed to appear as if the MP criticised the CM. It was posted by the account ‘DIG TV Parody' with malicious intent," he alleged.
A case was registered under BNS sections 353(2) (statements conducing to public mischief), 352 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), and 336(4) (forgery to harm reputation) on April 17 against unidentified persons.
A day earlier, TPCC social media state secretary Kailash Sajjan lodged another complaint. He reported a video shared by the handle @Sarmadevi28, alleging that the govt was distributing plastic rice through the fine rice scheme. In the clip, a person is seen burning rice on a stove to claim it's fake.
Sajjan stated the video and caption were "false, fabricated, and intended to mislead the public and create fear."
