Prosecutor Warns of Fake Accounts Spreading Misinformation in Polat Death Case

Prosecutor Dana Sarsenbay has issued a warning about fake social media accounts impersonating her and spreading false information related to the ongoing investigation into the death of Sherzat Polat. Sarsenbay stated that these accounts are using her name, photo, and official position to promote fraudulent schemes, including fake contests and surveys, and to direct users to subscribe to specific bloggers. "My only Instagram account is @s.d.n__, and it is strictly for personal communication," she said in a video statement. The fake accounts are also disseminating false information about the Polat case itself, potentially undermining public trust in the investigation. Sarsenbay urged citizens to remain cautious and to verify any information related to the case only through official channels. The incident highlights the increasing problem of misinformation spread through social media and the importance of media literacy in discerning credible sources of information. The authorities are investigating the origin and operation of the fake accounts, and further updates are expected.
