Man jailed for fake murder report to frame relative

A man has been sentenced to two years and nine months of simple imprisonment by the Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Azamgarh district. The conviction stems from charges of attempting to disturb communal harmony and peace through the spread of false rumors.

The accused, Vikas Singh, also known as Vicky Thakur, was found guilty of making a hoax call to the emergency number 112, falsely reporting a murder in Mubarakpur. His actions were intended to frame a relative and cause unrest.

Investigations revealed that Singh had a pattern of misusing phone numbers to disseminate false information to multiple police stations. He is currently incarcerated in Sonbhadra jail, facing the consequences of his disruptive actions.
