Our Approach to Fact-Checking

Public Darpan News recognises the importance of distinguishing verified information from rumours, claims and unverified information.

Before publishing significant factual claims, our editorial team may rely on:

• Official records
• Government sources
• Police or administrative statements
• Court documents
• Direct interviews
• Multiple independent sources
• Publicly available records
• Credible news agencies

We aim to clearly distinguish between:

Fact → Verified information
Claim → Statement made by a person or organisation
Allegation → An accusation that has not been legally established
Opinion → An individual’s interpretation or viewpoint

When new information materially changes a story, we may update the report.
