"A fake news is going viral. This is absolutely wrong. In Udaipur, strict action will be taken against the criminals," the Rajasthan Police tweeted
A media report that claimed the two accused in the murder of a tailor in Udaipur over a post on Prophet Muhammad would be served biryani in jail has been called out as fake by the Rajasthan Police. #सोशल_मीडिया पर वायरल हो रही है एक फेक न्यूज। ये सरासर गलत है। #उदयपुर में जघन्य अपराधियों के खिलाफ #राजस्थान_पुलिस कठोर कार्रवाई करेगी।पुलिस असामाजिक तत्वों से नरमी से नहीं आएगी पेश।प्रदेश में कानून व्यवस्था कायम रखने के लिए #राजस्थान_पुलिस है कटिबद्ध। pic.twitter.com/arcWua5oX3
The fake story on a purported Hindi news website carried the headline - "After being arrested, the two Udaipur killers would be served biryani in Rajasthan jail. What if it was in UP (Uttar Pradesh)?"
The story was tweeted by many, including the anchor of a news channel, who has now deleted the post.
"A fake news is going viral. This is absolutely wrong. In Udaipur, strict action will be taken against the criminals. The police will not deal softly with criminals. We are committed to maintaining law and order in the state," the Rajasthan Police tweeted in Hindi, along with a screenshot of the fake news webpage shared by a verified handle.
