As per the report, the three YouTube channels were spreading false and sensational claims about the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, Government schemes, EVMs, farm loan waivers, etc.
Fake news such as the Supreme Court ruling on ballot paper elections, the government giving money to those with bank accounts, Aadhar Cards, and PAN cards, and ban on EVMs was circulated via the three channels.
