8 jailed in Meerut over fake drone sighting posts; 15 FIRs filed
Meerut: In a sweeping crackdown on fake drone-sighting rumours, police in Meerut have identified 28 misleading social media posts and lodged 15 FIRs across the district. Eight people have been arrested so far, police said. SSP Vipin Tada said the cyber surveillance teams tracked misinformation on platforms like Instagram, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), finding 19 fake posts on Instagram, seven on Facebook and two on X. "These false claims of drone activity triggered panic and unrest in parts of the district. So far, we have arrested eight people and sent them to jail," SSP Tada told TOI. Drone-related fears in UP have often been linked to theft attempts, leading to mass paranoia and in some places, even violent incidents such as the recent lynching case in Bareilly, when a 50-year-old mentally-ill man, believed to be a beggar, was lynched under similar suspicion in the district's Bhojipura area. Authorities have appealed to the public not to circulate unverified content that could incite panic and chaos, leading to a law and order issue. Most of the 15 FIRs were registered in rural areas like Partapur, Parikshitgarh, Mundali and Sardhana. However, several residents alleged that the police were not doing enough to calm public fears. Recounting her experience in one such incident, Rakhi Devi, a resident of Jaibheem Nagar near LLRM Medical College, said, "Men from the nearby forested areas tried to barge into our homes at night. We stayed up all night to keep watch. We even called 112 — the police came, but did little. The drone sightings are real. Even the officers who came acknowledged it, but no serious action followed."
