A viral post circulating on social media falsely claims that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) India has launched a hotline number for citizens to report corruption, bribery, or delays in government services. However, this claim is incorrect the number being circulated actually belongs to the Prime Minister’s Office of Nepal, not India.
An account named @RavinderKapur2 posted the misleading claim on X, writing:
“Now India can report Corruption directly from where the roots begin.”
This post quickly gained attention, spreading confusion among users who mistook the Nepalese government’s initiative for an Indian one.
Truth: The Hotline Belongs to Nepal PMO, Not India
As the false claim gained traction on social media, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team conducted a thorough investigation through keyword analysis and cross-verification with credible media outlets. Our findings revealed that the number circulating in the posts (9851145045) does not belong to India. According to Nepali news outlets. Nepal Ekhabar reported that Prime Minister Karki launched a hotline to address public grievances related to government service delivery, including negligence, harassment, bribery, or misconduct by officials. My Republica confirmed that the Nepal PMO hotline number is intended for citizens to report misconduct or delays in government services, ensuring accountability and timely action.
This hotline is specifically for Nepali citizens and has no connection to the Indian government. In India, citizens can report corruption, bribery, or undue delays through official channels such as the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC)or the Public Grievance Portal. Therefore, the viral claim misrepresents a legitimate Nepali government initiative as an Indian one, creating a false narrative that misleads audiences about India’s governance and anti-corruption mechanisms.
