A number of cases have been reported from all over the world, meanwhile, another case has come to light in which Indonesia's influential and famous priest Muhammad Rizik Shihab has been sentenced to 4 years in prison. Rizik Shihab is alleged to have lied about corona infection and worked to endanger their lives by spreading confusion among individuals.

The verdict was pronounced in Indonesia's East Jakarta District Court. A three-judge panel said Shihab had made a false statement about his corona investigation report. This led to problems identifying those who had come to their contact and controlling the infection. Shihab is also known as the spiritual leader of the Islamic Defenders Front. Shihab had said in a video that he was completely fine while he was infected with corona infection at that time.

The court said that an influential personality like Shihab created confusion among individuals by lying. The case also revealed that an influential person like Shihab had given false news of his recovery. The news was highlighted not only on the media but also on social media. At the same time, they put many lives in danger. Shihab has been under arrest since December 13. The judge's panel said that his sentence will be reduced as per the time he has spent in jail.
