- Delhi police have begun legal action against social media accounts circulating old videos that falsely claimed protests had resumed at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
- Takedown notices have been issued to Meta and X, and no FIR has been registered so far.
- The government's PIB Fact Check unit said the videos were old and being shared with misleading titles like "Jantar Mantar Season 2".
- The matter matters because several clips drew millions of views and prompted government departments to ask police whether fresh demonstrations had started.
What to watch next
- Whether police register an FIR or take formal legal action against the identified handles
- Whether Meta and X comply with the takedown notices
- Whether more misleading videos surface despite the warnings
