The police booked a BJP spokesperson for triggering panic with an unverified video. The spokesperson had tweeted a clip claiming that a person who was alive was being taken to a crematorium. It was accompanied by text claiming that it was beyond shocking and asking whether the state government had some target to reach when it comes to cremation.

This senior person could not provide satisfactory answers when asked about where exactly he got this information and how did he tweet this without verifying with his comments below. He did apologise later.
