Arjun chhetri an imposter

The Nepal Police has arrested Arjun Chhetri on Tuesday for predicting a heavy earthquake to hit Nepal this month.  He was arrested from kalimati outside his office by the  Metropolitan Police Range, Kathmandu.

According to police, Chhetri had claimed that an earthquake of high magnitude would hit Nepal soon through a video which surfaced over social media including YouTube. he was arrested under the  Disaster Risk and Management Act-2017 of Clause 14 that states  no one can circulate false claims about any natural disaster as it would create an environment of fear among the public. Any individual found to be violating the provision can face a jail sentence up to six months or a fine up to Rs100,000 or both.

The rise of such activities has gone up after the rise of social media where people are saying anything without caution to have more views and clicks. The problem has severely hit the young generation where there is a craze of social media and Viral trend. This cannot just be blamed to the use and availability of the technology but a serious research needs to be conducted understanding the current trend and mind set of youth.
