Seeing a notice that looks off? You’re not alone. Many readers land on this tag looking for the truth behind alerts, legal notices, and sudden announcements that feel bogus. We pull together the most talked‑about pieces that have been flagged as possibly fake, so you can sort fact from fiction without scrolling forever.
One of the biggest buzzes this week is the UAPA bail case. The Delhi High Court denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, and the ruling sparked a flurry of social media posts claiming the court had “secretly granted” bail. The actual order, however, clearly states the bail was rejected. If you saw a screenshot saying otherwise, that’s a classic fake notice.
Another hot topic is the recent North India rainfall alert. The IMD issued a red alert for Punjab, Delhi‑NCR and surrounding states, but several memes circulated saying the alert was a “government hoax to keep people indoors.” The official IMD bulletin confirms the severe flooding, so the hoax claim falls flat.
Sports fans aren’t exempt either. The IPL 2025 match‑up between KKR and PBKS at Eden Gardens generated a fake notice claiming the game would be postponed due to “unexpected monsoon.” In reality, the match went ahead as scheduled, with only a brief rain delay.
First, check the source. Government agencies, courts, and reputable news outlets always publish notices on their official domains. A quick look at the URL can save you minutes of confusion.
Second, verify the date and time. Fake notices often recycle old alerts and change the headline to sound urgent. Cross‑checking with the agency’s latest press releases clears that up.
Third, look for signatures or official seals. Most genuine notices include a digital signature or a recognizable seal. If it’s just plain text with flashy fonts, treat it skeptically.
Lastly, search the notice text in quotes on a search engine. If dozens of credible sites report the same thing, it’s likely legit. If the only hits are meme pages, you’ve probably hit a fake.
Every day new notices pop up, some real, some made up to stir panic or get clicks. By keeping these simple steps in mind, you’ll cut through the noise and stay informed. Keep checking this tag for the latest updates and our quick fact‑checks on anything that looks suspicious.
A fake notice claimed Gujarat Board would announce 12th Science and GUJCET 2025 results on April 17. Officials have dismissed this rumor, confirming the results are set for May. Students should trust updates from the official GSEB website only.
