Fabricated Sri Lankan news graphic lists incorrect fuel prices

Sri Lanka raised fuel prices in May 2026 due to global energy supply disruptions. A purported news graphic circulating on social media shows a higher increase than the actual one. The graphic, which claims to show petrol, diesel, and kerosene price revisions, is entirely fake and did not originate from a local news outlet. The outlet's general manager confirmed that the image is fabricated and was never published on their platforms.
