On the 30th of December, Hindi news channel News24 reported a speech made by Bihar police DGP SK Singhal. However, even a cursory listen to the video reveals how grossly incorrect News24’s reportage was about the speech made by DGP Singhal. In the video, DGP Singhal says, “Another problem that has arisen is that for marriage, many girls run away from their homes without the permission of their parents. In fact, the DGP also spoke about boys who run away from their families and end up being pushed into a directionless life of crime. At the time of publishing this report, News24 had not deleted/retracted their tweet and issued an apology for twisting the statement of DGP SK Singhal.
