evidence: By Tejal Sinha Published on 18 Jun 2021 2:17 PM GMTHyderabad: A post warning people against consuming any kind of cold drinks in the upcoming days has gone viral on social media. According to the post, the Hyderabad police put out the warning after a worker mixed "the blood of a dangerous virus called Ebola" in the drinks. It also claimed that the news was aired by NDTV. [...] Fake news spreading on social media about cool drinks and a warning from Hyderabad city police is fake one and Hyderabad city police never released any message regarding this. pic.twitter.com/cCy32Vh7fN — హైదరాబాద్ సిటీ పోలీస్ Hyderabad City Police (@hydcitypolice) July 13, 2019 [...] Therefore, the claim that the Ebola virus has been mixed in cold drinks is false. Neither was the message circulated by the Hyderabad police nor was it aired on NDTV. CDCP had also said that the Ebola virus cannot be transmitted through food. False news related to the Ebola virus has been doing the rounds since 2014 when there was an Ebola virus outbreak in India.
