Fake News Alert: Police Deny Report of 9-Year-Old Giving Birth in Kaithal

Social media platforms have been circulating a viral report claiming a nine-year-old girl in Kaithal gave birth to a child. The story gained traction with a speech from a female police officer describing a similar case involving an 11-year-old brother. However, Kaithal Police have officially debunked these claims. DSP Lalit Kumar stated that no such incident has occurred in Kaithal and an investigation across all police stations confirmed the absence of any such case. The police clarified that the viral video likely uses an old speech by the City Station House Officer, Geeta, delivered over a year ago at a seminar on women's safety, combined with footage of a child and a newborn, to spread misinformation. Police have warned that legal action may be taken against those spreading false information and urged the public to verify news from official sources before sharing.
