Now-a-days it seems that social media had taken the Job to decide the time of death of each and every one who is popular in the society. In Kerala we saw many such examples of Social Media spreads fake news about the death of many popular people. It is just like their hobby to spread false news that somebody is dead when he is alive. We saw that in the case of Salim Kumar and Mammukkoya.
The news of their death spread in social media like wildfire and at last they have to tell themselves to the people that they are alive. Seems very weird indeed if we think about the victims of these false news. And the latest one in this list is the Legendary Malayalam actor Jagathy Sreekumar. Today many posts spread in social media platforms like Facebook and Whatsapp that Jagathy Sreekumar is died of heart attack.
The news said that he was in one of his relative’s home while the death happened. The ones who created this fake news framed a photo with the logo and template of the news screen of a popular media channel in Malayalam telling that the news is true. When the photo spread with the screenshot like photo bearing the popular news channel logo, some people even believed it as well.
Jagathy’s daughter Sree Lakshmi Sreekumar posted in her Facebook page that she and her family members are really shocked by seeing this fake news is spreading. She says that they saw this post is spreading through Facebook and whatsapp and really worried. She told that people have to mind their own business rather than spreading such fake news about a person like Jagathy Sreekumar. She says that she don’t know why these people creating and spreading these false news about a person who is alive and recovering from a fatal injury.
Sree Lakshmi says that Jagathy Sreekumar, her Dad, is safe and healthy and she asked people to stop spreading the rumors. She appeals to the people that instead of spreading fake news we have to pray for his speedy recovery and come back.
