New Delhi: Delhi Police on Wednesday registered a case after a video of a cop asking students of Mukherjee Nagar to leave the Capital till January 2 in view of the “sensitive” law and order situation went viral.
In the video, the officer can be heard saying that owners of PGs, restaurants and coaching centres have been asked to leave the city. “Section 144 has been imposed so don’t gather or you’ll be booked for public nuisance,” he adds.
The students respond in the affirmative after his message.
However, responding to the video, DCP Northwest Delhi called it fake.
Fake messages are circulating in social media on closure of PGs/Hostels in Mukherjee Nagar area. We have registered a case against these fake messages. Appeal to all citizens to not believe these rumours. @DelhiPolice— DCP North West Delhi (@DCPNWestDelhi) December 25, 2019
Some notices were also found pasted on walls and shutters and police claimed these too were fake.
