A viral WhatsApp message claiming that a video titled "Amit Shah disowns Modi" can hack and format mobile phones has been confirmed as a hoax. The message warns users to avoid the video and block the number 9266600223, which appears on Truecaller as “Crd Cardit Card.” The number has been flagged as spam by over 31,000 reports. A fact-check reveals that this is a recycled scam; a similar message circulated in 2017 under the title “Sonia disowns Rahul.” There is no evidence of such a video or any official radio announcements warning about it. The message is entirely false, and no Indian government agencies or media outlets have issued warnings about any such virus. This is part of a pattern of misleading hoaxes that resurface periodically with different names and claims. Man Caught on Camera Vandalising Vande Bharat Express Window With Hammer?
