checked the official Twitter handle of Gurugram police for updates on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>We noted that Gurugram Police had shared a press note on their Twitter handle in relation to the tweet made by Mukesh Kumar and the abduction allegations by Sudarshan News. The press note in Hindi can be translated as:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Person arrested for a false and misleading tweet.<\/p>\n<p>Gurugram: 11 August 2023<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On 08.08.2023, a tweet was made from the Twitter handle @mukeshkrd on the basis of baseless, untrue and misleading facts. Taking cognizance of the matter, Gurgaon Police registered a case under Section 66C\u00a0 of the IT Act and 153B, 469, 501, 505 (1) (C) under IPC at Cyber \u200b\u200bEast police station, Gurugram. The investigation of this matter was being done by the police team of Cyber East, Gurugram.<\/li>\n<li>Today, on 11.08.2023, a person named Mukesh, who tweeted misleading and untrue facts, has been arrested by the team from Cyber East police station, Gurugram in the above-mentioned case.
