In a press statement issued to the media, the Meghalaya Police informed that at around 9:30 am on August 15, the twitter account of Meghalaya Police was tagged by a twitterati whereby a video was shared along with a tweet informing that it was an SOS Message through social media and that 2,000 Sikh families were stuck in a gurudwara.

“On receiving the information, Police team forthwith verified the information and ascertained that there was no such incident happening in the State,” the statement from the State Police stated.
