Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) filed a complaint over fake High Court notices circulated on social media, alleging misinformation linked to demolition drives.
Officials said some social media handlers created and shared fabricated notices in the name of the High Court. As a result, the issue triggered concern within HYDRAA.
The fake notices claimed that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and HYDRAA Commissioner A V Ranganath had to appear before the High Court. However, authorities rejected the claim and termed the notices false.
