A video of the Ghaziabad DM Indra Vikram Singh has gone viral on social media, wherein he could be heard issuing a stern warning to the media about unverified news. "As a responsible citizen and city dweller, I appeal to you and also to many of your uncontrolled companions not to spread false information without thinking, because you hold a double-edged sword in your hands. You might also have to pay the price. This is both a threat and a suggestion. Stay safe, that's why I'm giving you advice, and if you don't heed it, it's a threat that I won't spare you," he could be heard saying. However, the video has received mixed reactions from the netizens. While some backed the official for his strict demeanour, some criticised him for the choice of words.
