Police warn against Misleading Social Media videos
The Sri Lanka Police has issued a warning regarding the circulation of old video footage on social media, which misrepresents past incidents as current events.
According to the police, certain videos, such as those showing vehicles being inspected by individuals near the Katunayake Airport and footage captured during curfew periods, are being re-shared and spread across social platforms. These videos, though outdated, are misleading the public and could disrupt peace and order.
The police urge the public to refrain from sharing such misleading content, as it may cause confusion and pose a threat to national security. The statement further emphasizes that legal action will be taken against individuals who engage in spreading such videos.
