Yes, Twitterati started believing this news as soon as they saw this Wiki update. Edit history shows that page was last edited on 19th Feb 6:18 PM i.e. few hours back. Check the proof:-
But it was a mistake on Wikipedia’s part that the death date was shown so. In fact, the company realized its mistake and removed the death date. The news was 101% fake & Farida Jalal is still alive.

Social media is too quick with reactions and this is the best example of this statement. People must bother to cross check the news twice before they start posting. Even if one user posts it, the news goes super-viral and 100 other people start spreading. Social media platforms must be used carefully; don’t believe everything you see. THINK & SPEAK!
