Police Denial
However, authorities have dismissed these claims. Pahadishareef Inspector P. Guruva Reddy stated that no such incident has been reported to the police. “Some individuals are spreading baseless rumors to incite panic among the public. We are investigating and will take appropriate legal action against them,” he said.
Public Reaction
The rumors have evoked comparisons to the Bollywood film Bhoolbhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy centered around a ghost. While some have dismissed the chatter as baseless, others remain spooked, avoiding the area after dark.
The police have urged the public not to fall for such hoaxes and to report any unusual activities to law enforcement instead of spreading unverified information.
As the investigation continues, the โchudailโ saga serves as a reminder of how social media can amplify rumors, often blurring the line between reality and fiction.
