Delhi Police gets 300 social media posts taken down for spreading 'rumours'
Delhi Police is monitoring various social media platforms to curb the spread of misinformation amid protests in the capital, with around 300 posts allegedly aimed at spreading rumours or creating public unrest taken down, police sources said on Monday.
The action comes days after police arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to create and circulate a fabricated video depicting a police officer sexually harassing a woman journalist during a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The accused, identified as Nadeem Ahmed, allegedly circulated the video falsely portraying a police personnel in an objectionable manner, police said.
The incident is being investigated separately from the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against police personnel by women journalists.
The police have also approached social media platform X seeking the removal of objectionable and allegedly misleading content linked to the protests, source
