Fact Check: Did Home Minister Amit Shah tweet about snapping internet services in J&K?

The announcement from the MHA came after a tweet was seen coursing via web-based networking media, asserting that the web will be suspended in the association domain.
“A tweet is circulating in the name of Union Home Minister mentioning fixed-line broadband and internet in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh to be snapped. This tweet is fake. No such tweet has been done from Union Home Minister’s twitter handle,” the MHA said in a statement.
The preview of a tweet which was being coursed via web-based networking media demonstrated that a post saying – ‘Fixed-line broadband and portable web access to be snapped in the UT J&K and Ladakh from today around evening time’ – was produced using the official, checked Twitter record of HM Shah.
