Baramulla Police Dismiss Fake Terror Attack Rumours, Register FIR Against Misinformation
Authorities confirm no terrorist attack or firing incident occurred in Baramulla and deny false claims regarding the cancellation of the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra.
Baramulla Police have strongly refuted false claims circulating on social media alleging a terrorist attack on a police station, firing at government offices across the town, and a proposed cancellation of the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra.
In an official statement issued on June 28, the police clarified that no such terrorist attack or firing incident had taken place anywhere in Baramulla. They also dismissed reports claiming that the Chief Minister had proposed cancelling the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra, describing them as completely false, baseless, and misleading.
According to the police, the fabricated posts appear to be a deliberate attempt to spread fear and panic, disturb public order, and undermine public confidence during the ongoing pilgrimage.
Taking serious note of the misinformation campaign, Baramulla Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) and launched an investigation to identify those responsible for creating and circulating the fake content. Authorities said strict legal action will be taken against anyone found involved, including individuals who knowingly share or forward the false information to amplify the rumours.
The police have appealed to the public to avoid sharing unverified content on social media, warning that the spread of fake news can create unnecessary panic, disrupt law and order, and invite legal consequences.
Citizens have been urged to remain calm and rely only on official information released by government authorities and the police for accurate updates regarding security and the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra.
