The Wire published news that Dalit kids in Varanasi were forced to eat grass due to lockdown.

This is Fake News. Kids were eating “akhri daal” (pulse) which is edible & enjoyed by the people in the area.

Now, District Magistrate issued a notice to journalist for this fake news. pic.twitter.com/RQVft8mRie
