Don't see why WION & this reporter are creating unnecessary panic about QR codes. Once scanned its no different than a web url or a line of plain text, and the same precautions to using them apply. QR codes are at the heart of India's payment systems, so media should act more responsibility; the goal should be to educate and not to make sensational claims.

✝ By this Gospel you are 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗗 *[for it is by grace* (alone) *through faith* (alone) *you have been saved, and not of works, lest any man boast]* if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: *that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.* (1 Co 15:2-4) (Eph 2:8-9)
✝ For God so greatly 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝒹 and dearly prized the world, that He gave His One and only begotten Son, so that *whoever 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗦 in Him shall not perish* (in hell) *but have Eternal life* (in Heaven). (John 3:16)
