‘Circulation of Doctored Audio Aimed at derailing the Process of Peace’

Imphal: It has come to notice of government that an audio recording, falsely claiming to be that of the chief minister, Manipur is

being circulated on social media platforms, said a DIPR press release on Wednesday.

“This doctored audio is a malicious attempt by certain sections to incite communal violence or to derail the process of peace that has been initiated at multiple levels.”

“Our social media analysis indicates that a coordinated and targeted campaign is underway, with numerous X (formerly Twitter) accounts sharing the audio with similar captions.”

The Manipur Police is actively investigating the matter and is committed to uncovering the origins of this defamatory campaign. Legal action will be taken against all individuals and organisations involved in this conspiracy, the government release said.

“We urge the public to remain vigilant and refrain from sharing unverified information. The restoration of peace and harmony amongst our communitiesis of utmost importance at this juncture more than ever. State government will not tolerate any action that threaten to disrupt the peace process.”
