Marichika Spring
Reports in the Indian media on the death of an actress, which was falsified for clicks and publicity to [cough] elevate awareness about cervical cancer
, show that Indian urinalists are as gullible as their British counterparts.
Some also criticised the media for reporting on Pandey's death without verifying the news. "Poonam Pandey's death was followed by the death of the Indian media. No verifications, no fact checks... None of it mattered. She has come back to life today. Can't say the same about our journalism," wrote one user on X. However, some journalists defended their decision by saying that it had been shared by the actor's "official Instagram account".

It appears they actually believed what they read on social media, and ran with it! (shock) (LOL)
What they really need are the services of a disinformation and social media correspondent, working alongside a crack team of urinalists using the latest forensic techniques to verify this sh¡t. Oh, hang on…
Marichika Spring doesn't exist, at least not to my knowledge. Marichika was just the closest Indian girls' name to Marianna that I could readily find.
