A man from Amethi has been booked for allegedly circulating a 'rumour' with the intent to cause 'fear' over oxygen supply. The man, Shashank Yadav, had appealed for an oxygen cylinder for his grandfather on Twitter.

In his tweet, Yadav had not mentioned whether his grandfather had Covid-19. His grandfather later died of a heart attack. Yadav had sent an SOS on Monday evening tagging actor Sonu Sood, asking for his help.
