Government Warns People Of Ram Mandir Fake VIP Entry With 'Hera Pheri' Meme

The 'Hera Pheri'-themed meme advises consumers not to click on any dodgy links or pay money to unauthorised websites.

The much-anticipated inauguration of Ayodhya's huge Ram temple will take place today, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the 'pran pratistha' (consecration ritual) of Ram Lalla. Meanwhile, fraudsters are taking advantage of this chance, duping enthusiasts in the hopes of gaining VIP entrance to the event. Several people have reported receiving fraudulent WhatsApp communications promising them free VIP credentials to the ceremony. The message prompts recipients to download an APK file linked to the message, which may include malware and harm the phone.
