Noida police file 2 FIRs over 'misleading' social media posts on NEET protest
Noida Police have stepped up surveillance on social media amid the ongoing protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, registering two FIRs against three social media accounts for allegedly circulating misleading and provocative content that could disturb law and order.
As protests over the NEET-UG paper leak continue at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, Noida Police have intensified social media surveillance and registered two FIRs against three social media accounts for allegedly circulating misleading and provocative posts that could disturb law and order.
The action comes amid heightened security in the National Capital Region due to the ongoing demonstrations, with police keeping a close watch on online posts to prevent the spread of rumours and misinformation.
The first case relates to a video posted on July 22, 2026, by the Instagram account jantar_mantar__live_24 (Sach Ki Baat Gen-Z). According to police, the video falsely claimed that Noida was witnessing widespread industrial unrest, with thousands of workers protesting and traffic severely disrupted in Sector 63 and at the Chilla border.
Police said the claims were found to be false during verification. The FIR alleges that the post was intended to spread rumours, create fear among the public and undermine confidence in the administration, with the potential to affect public peace.
SECOND FIR OVER VIDEO ON POLICE CONDUCT
The second FIR pertains to a video shared on July 23 through the Instagram account charchajunctionnews and the X handle Truth @TruthfulCriticI.
The post claimed that Noida Police had misbehaved with members of the public. Although it stated that the authenticity of the video had not been verified, police said both the video and its accompanying claims were found to be false and misleading during the enquiry.
Investigators also said the posts tagged several organisations, including the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), and media organisations while circulating the content online.
POLICE WARN AGAINST SPREADING RUMOURS
Noida Police have registered both cases at the Cyber Police Station under relevant legal provisions and launched an investigation.
The force warned that strict legal action would be taken against those found sharing misleading or unverified information on social media and urged the public to verify facts before forwarding or posting content, especially as the Jantar Mantar protests continue.
