India, Oct. 16 -- Police in Uttar Pradesh's Noida on Friday refuted social media claims alleging the arrest of Germany-based YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, describing the information as completely false, misleading and baseless.

Notably, since Friday morning, several users have been posting on X, speculating that Dhruv Rathee was arrested by Noida Police and sharing a video to support the claim.

In a fact-check clarification, the police stated that "Dhruv Rathee has not been arrested by Noida Police."

The clarification comes after several social media handles reportedly circulated posts claiming that the YouTuber had been taken into custody.

Appealing to the public, Noida Police urged people not to circulate misleading or unverified messages....
