Dubai: Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have taken legal action against 19 Indian nationals for allegedly sharing misleading information on social media related to the ongoing tensions in the region.

According to reports, the individuals were among a group accused of posting videos and messages that contained false claims and manipulated content about the conflict. Officials said such posts had the potential to create confusion and unnecessary panic among the public.

Investigators found that some of the content included altered clips and misleading captions that did not reflect the actual situation. Authorities said the material was widely circulated on different online platforms.

The UAE’s Attorney General stated that strict measures are being taken to prevent the spread of false information, especially during sensitive situations that could affect public order and national stability.

Officials also warned that spreading misleading or fabricated content online is a serious offence under the country’s laws, and those involved may face legal action.
