Amid ongoing unrest in Noida’s Phase 2 area, two Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokespersons, Priyanka Bharti and Kanchana Yadav, have been named in an FIR for allegedly spreading misleading information on social media. The FIR, filed by Noida police, accuses them of circulating false content during the labor unrest, misrepresenting an incident from Madhya Pradesh as occurring in Noida.
The circulated video, shared by the RJD spokespersons, depicted police detaining an intoxicated person but was wrongly portrayed as an event involving Noida workers. Authorities assert that such misinformation caused confusion among the public and laborers, tarnishing the police’s reputation and potentially inciting unrest. Investigations are underway to uncover the network behind the dissemination of such misleading content and examine various social media accounts for incitement attempts.
In response to the violent protests in Noida, the police have cautioned against sharing unverified information online. They have also warned of severe consequences for those found spreading rumors or trying to instigate violence through social media platforms. Additionally, a meeting chaired by Gautam Buddha Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam with outsourcing agencies and contractors aimed to ensure strict compliance with government guidelines and maintain industrial peace amidst labor-related issues.
