Outreach programmes by Indian Police Service Superintendent Rema Rajeshwari have made people in 400 Telangana villages more cautious about social media rumours turning into fake news. In times when fake news has emerged as a global issue aided by the proliferation of WhatsApp and cheap smartphones, Rajeshwari’s efforts have presented positive results with not a single death related to fake news in the area under her administration. Her efforts have also motivated other officers in the country to duplicate her awareness campaign and stem this issue.
