Vineeta Singh, an Indian entrepreneur, CEO of Sugar Cosmetics, and one of the prominent members on the panel of investors in Shark Tank India, recently took to her social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to address a concerning issue that she has been grappling with for the past few weeks – the circulation of fake news about her death and arrest.
In her X post, Singh wrote, “Been dealing with paid PR about my death & my arrest for 5 weeks. Ignored it at first, then reported to @Meta several times, filed @Mum_CyberPolice complaint but it’s not stopping. The hardest part is when folks panic & call my mom Few of the posts are below. Any suggestions?”
In a subsequent post, she also tagged Meta India, Mumbai Police, Cyber Dost, MahaCyber1, and the CP Mumbai Police Twitter accounts, raising concerns.
In her post, she also shared some screenshots of stories that spoke about her death and arrest.

The Mumbai Police responded to her post, “Ma’am, we kindly request you to DM us the details so that we can assist you better.”
The circulation of fake news has become a significant concern in today’s digital age, with incidents like this underscoring the need for more robust measures to combat misinformation. Vineeta Singh’s proactive approach in addressing the issue sets an example, highlighting the importance of swift action against fake news to protect individuals’ reputations and prevent unwarranted panic among the public.
