FACT CHECK: Has Chief Election Commissioner Been Dismissed by Supreme Court? Here's The Truth

New Delhi: Has the Chief Election Commissioner has been dismissed following a recent Supreme Court's decision? A YouTube thumbnail suggests that the SC has suspended the CEC of India, and actions have been taken against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. However, The Press Information Bureau (PIB) fact check has issued a stern warning to the public regarding the misleading YouTube video circulating online, and clarified no such decision has been made by the Supreme Court.

In a tweet, PIB Fact Check clarified that the video’s claims are entirely fabricated, labeling them as “#फर्जी” (fake). The Bureau urged viewers to be cautious and not to fall for such sensational content that misrepresents facts.

This warning comes amid growing concerns over the rise of fake news and misinformation, particularly on platforms like YouTube, where user-generated content is often difficult to regulate.
