BJP leader Prashant Umrao from Uttar Pradesh along with a Tamil Nadu-based local newspaper owner have been charged for spreading fake news about "Killing" of Bihar migrant workers in Tamil Nadu and a police team has been formed to arrest them, as per the report by NDTV.

Spokesperson of BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit Prashant Umrao tweeted that "12 migrants from Bihar were hung to death in Tamil Nadu for speaking in Hindi". Umrao tagged Bihar chief minister Tejashwi Yadav and Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin in the tweet.
