Assam CM exposes fake video scheme; DGP promises swift action

In a move to counteract the growing threat of disinformation and communal disharmony, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to microblogging site X to expose a malicious attempt to distort his speech through a fake video. The Chief Minister, as elections loom, expressed concern over vested groups with criminal intentions spreading misinformation.

"See for yourself, as elections approach, how vested groups distort a speech with the criminal intention of spreading disinformation and communal disharmony. The long arms of the law will catch up with these elements," Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma declared in his online post.

The fake video, aimed at tarnishing the Chief Minister's image, prompted a swift response from Assam's Director General of Police (DGP), GP Singh. Responding to Himanta Biswa Sarma's post, DGP Singh assured, "Noted Sir. CID Assam would register a criminal case and investigate people behind."
