Supreme Court of India filed a cyber crime complaint with the Delhi Police against a social media handle that impersonated the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and sought money for a cab fare. The complaint was filed after CJI Chandrachud took note of the screenshot of a message that went viral on social media on Sunday. Following this, the Supreme Court's security department took note of CJI's complaint and registered a first information report with the cyber crime department.
After engaging with journalists from across the world over the decades, the external affairs ministry recently switched gears and began reaching out to social media influencers who can get the India story to a younger generation more attuned to getting updates from reels and short videos. The ministry made a start by bringing in a group of 19 influencers and social media content creators from Nepal and Sri Lanka at the end of April, and the second group of about 15 influencers from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is visiting the country this week.
