Case Filed Against YouTuber Over False Video on Fort Kochi
Listen to the story
Police in Kerala have registered a case against a YouTuber for spreading false claims about Fort Kochi.
The YouTuber, Amrit Singh Daran, comes from Uttar Pradesh in North India.
He posted a video containing fake information about the popular tourist town of Fort Kochi.
Police say the video also included communal remarks, meaning comments that target people based on religion.
Such remarks can create division between different religious communities.
Authorities have taken the matter seriously and opened an official investigation.
Member of Parliament Hibi Eden commented on the issue publicly.
He claimed the video was part of a wider lobby working against Kerala's image.
A lobby is a group of people who try to influence opinion or policy for a particular cause.
According to Eden, this North Indian lobby has been spreading negative propaganda about Kerala.
Propaganda means information, often misleading, used to promote a particular viewpoint.
Fort Kochi is well known across India for its history and heritage sites, attracting many visitors each year.
Heritage refers to buildings, traditions or culture passed down from the past.
Police have not yet revealed the exact charges filed against the YouTuber.
The case highlights growing concerns over misinformation spread through social media platforms.
Misinformation means false information shared, sometimes without the intention to deceive.
Officials say they will continue to monitor similar content targeting the state.
Kerala's government has previously acted against videos seen as damaging to its reputation.
