Dispelling rumours around a viral video on X showing a motorcycle stunt with firecrackers, Cyberabad police clarified that the video was originally uploaded last year by an Instagram user.

About the video circulating on X, Madhapur DCP G. Vineeth said that it has caused unnecessary fear and speculation among the public regarding road safety and security.

Spreading false info can lead to legal consequences

The Cyberabad police have urged people to verify information before sharing it on social media. “Spreading false information can lead to unnecessary panic and legal consequences.
