Sriramulu lodges complaint over 'fake' COVID-19 tweet

Bengaluru: State health minister B Sriramulu said that his Twitter account had been hacked after a fake post on coronavirus went viral on social media.

In a complaint filed with Bengaluru police commissioner, Sriramulu alleged that this was a deliberate attempt to defame him and demanded strict action against the miscreant.

Sriramulu while tweeting a copy of his complaint said that tweet suggesting smearing cow dung on the body and drinking of cow urine to prevent COVID-19 had not been posted by him.
