Fact Check: Doctored bulletin image circulates to claim internet shutdown orders

New Delhi : A 'Breaking News' still with ABP logo and PM Modi's image is being circulated on the social media with a claim that PM has ordered to shut down internet services to stop coronavirus rumours which are being spread on the social media.

What's the truth?

PM Narendra Modi has not ordered anything related to internet shutdown.

The bulletin image with ABP logo on it is a morphed image probably made on Photoshop or similar software.

Verification of Truth

Since the screen has ABP logo on it, News Heads team checked social media handles of the ABP to see if something similar has been shared by them there too? While doing so, our eyes got hold on a post where the channel has clarified that the image being circulated on social media is a fake image.

With the post ABP News mentioned that this is a rumour that has been tagged on their name, people must remain cautious and not believe this information.

Verdict

Some mischievous minds have tweeked the image in a way that it looks real however it is a complete FAKE image.
