The Instagram account dct_news, which describes itself as “DCT News / Delhi Crime Today News” and has about 5,600 followers, is circulating a video with the headline “PM Modi ने दिया इस्तीफा” (PM Modi has resigned). It is styled like a TV news bulletin with an “Election Breaking” banner and a “DCT News official” tag. PIB Fact Check has flagged the claim as fake and confirmed that the Prime Minister has not resigned. The video comes amid the political row over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls and recent protests in Delhi, during which some posts have demanded the PM’s resignation. Small pages using news-channel-style graphics to present false “breaking news” can mislead viewers quickly, so people should rely on official government sources and established news outlets for such major announcements.
