New Delhi:
Vineeta Singh, entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge, has come forward to dismiss persistent rumours of her death. She took to her social media handle on Saturday to address the false claims that have been circulating for weeks.
In a post on X, the Sugar Cosmetics CEO shared a screenshot of a misleading report with the headline, “A hard day for India: We say goodbye to Vineeta Singh.”
She refuted the claims, highlighting that such false reports have been circulating for the past five weeks. Despite her efforts to combat the spread of misinformation, including filing a complaint with the Mumbai Crime Branch and reporting to Meta (formerly Facebook) and the Mumbai Cyber Police, the rumours have persisted.
“Been dealing with paid PR about my death & my arrest for 5 weeks. Ignored it at first, then reported to @Meta several times, filed @Mum_CyberPolice complaint but it’s not stopping. The hardest part is when folks panic & call my mom. Any suggestions?” Vineeta Singh wrote in her tweet.
