Officials said the clip was traced to an old Mumbai programme and not linked to the Indore show. Police have sought details from Instagram to identify those behind the accounts circulating the video.
Unidentified operators of five social media accounts were booked on Monday for circulating a fake video on Instagram claiming a scuffle at Punjabi singer Karan Aujla's recent event in Indore in Madhya Pradesh, a police official said.
The video was shared with a claim that a fight broke out during Aujla's programme held in the city on March 21, Khajrana police station in-charge Manoj Singh Sendhav told PTI.
"The police social media monitoring team examined the video and found it was neither from Indore nor recent. It was from an old event held in Mumbai. The circulation of this fake video with misleading information on social media created confusion among the public," Sendhav added.
A case was registered under section 223 (disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the operators of five such accounts through which the video was circulated.
The station house officer said the local police has imposed restrictions on spreading misleading information on social media and the circulation of the fake video violated the prohibitory order.
"We have sent an email to Instagram seeking details of the persons operating the accounts. Further action will be taken after identifying the accused," he added.
