Amitabh Bachchan has been trolled for spreading misinformation about the coronavirus outbreak on social media.
In a now-deleted tweet, he had shared a theory, which claimed that clapping together on March 22 at 5 pm would make such a vibration in the atmosphere that coronavirus would be destroyed.
Now, Bachchan has been called out for tweeting the theory even when it was already dubbed as “incorrect” by Press Information Bureau’s Fact Check official Twitter handle.
The theory surfaced online hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to follow the Janta Curfew on Sunday amid the growing number of coronavirus cases in the country, and stand at balconies and near windows at 5pm to clap, ring bells to thank the emergency personnel and sanitation workers who are at the frontline in the fight against COVID-19.
