The rapid spread of fake news on various topics has turned into a major concern in the modern times. From forwarding misleading content to making false claims, many often pass incorrect information without verifying its authenticity. That is the reason why, time and again, police departments take to social media to share informative posts to create awareness and curb the spread of this menace. Just like this post by Assam Police. They used a line from the song Aaj Phir from film Hate Story 2 sung by Arijit Singh to share a witty yet important post related to fake news.
