A person was arrested on Tuesday by the police in Hyderabad for allegedly creating a fake Government Order (GO), which claimed that liquor shops would be reopened in Telangana, amidst the lockdown over COVID-19.
The fake message said, "All the state-wide wine shops will remain open from March 29, 2020 between 2 pm and 5 30 pm. Five excise constables will be deployed at each shop to maintain social distancing among the visitors.”
The Telangana Chief Minister's Office on Monday night announced the death of six people due to COVID-19. After it emerged that all six of the COVID-19 fatalities in Telangana had attended a religious congregation at Nizamuddin in New Delhi, the state has intensified its efforts to locate all those who returned from the event and trace their contact trail.
