Lockdown again from 15 June? No, it’s a photoshopped ‘Zee News’ template

• Rakesh Vuppu

An image with ‘Breaking News’ template of ‘Zee News’ channel is doing rounds on social media which says that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has signalled a possibility of complete lockdown in the country again after 15 June 2020, and the services of trains and flights will be halted. But, ‘Zee News’ has clarified that it has not run that news on their channel and the image with such news on its ‘Breaking News’ template is photoshopped. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has also debunked the claim and said that the news is ‘fake’.
