“Been dealing with paid PR about my death & my arrest for 5 weeks. Ignored it at first, then reported to @Meta several times, filed @Mum_CyberPolice complaint but it’s not stopping. The hardest part is when folks panic & call my mom. Few of the posts are below. Any suggestions?” she wrote. She also shared a series of screenshots of the fake news articles and posts about her death.

Mumbai Police reacted to her post and wrote, “Ma’am, request you to DM us the details, for us to help you better.” Singh replied, “We spoke. Thank you for the support so far.”

“There were a few others like Vineeta is bankrupt. I was a bit confused and then understood fake as. It was on FB,” shared an X user.

“Social media should have some responsibility, too,” shared another.

“This fooled me for a second as well when I saw it first. I hope things sort out. I am sure you must be in touch with top-level people at Meta. Let me know if you need any help! They are the only ones who can kill this at once,” expressed a third.
