While covering the Ukraine-Russia war, some news channels have been "making false claims", using "scandalous headlines", and offering "fabricated and hyperbolic statements intending to incite audiences", the I&B ministry warned in an advisory issued today.
On the "recent incident in Northwest Delhi", the advisory specifically flagged coverage that was "disrupting the ongoing investigation process by playing scandalous and unverified CCTV footages" and "showing footages of a specific community thus aggravating the communal tensions".
