Chandigarh, July 1

A tweet by a Germany-based doctor and a retweet by the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was all it took to trigger a storm on the social media.

At the eye of the storm was a tweet put out purportedly by a Germany-based cardiologist, who sought Yogi’s intervention to stop ongoing riots in France.

A Twitter account named Prof.N John Camm asked India to send Yogi to France asserting latter will get rid of the unrest within 24 hours. “India must send @myogiadityanath to France to control riot situation there and My God,he will do it within 24 hours,” he wrote while tagging UP CM.

While responding to the user, Yogi’s office wrote at length hailed UP CM’s model of governance. Quoting the tweet, CM office wrote, “Whenever extremism fuels riots, chaos engulfs and law & order situation arises in any part of the globe, the World seeks solace and yearns for the transformative “Yogi Model” of Law & Order established by Maharaj Ji in Uttar Pradesh”.

Now the catch in the story comes when few Twitter users, including Opposition party leaders, claimed that the account named after Prof.N John Camm was actually a fake one and the person operating the account was one Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, who is claimed to be an Indian-origin person.

Few users even shared a photo of a person with UP CM claiming it was the same man, now acting as an imposter.

Many claimed Yogi’s office fell for a hoax account.
