On recent use of erroneous Maxwell Equations

What is it about?

Have you ever imagined that someone will try to modify Maxwell's Equations incorrectly? When I came across these erroneous Maxwell's equations, I could not believe how peer review systems can accept and publish incorrect Maxwell's equations. They cited J. D. Kraus as the source of those erroneous Maxwell's Equations. However, J. D Kraus never wrote those erroneous Maxwell's equations. I identified the errors during my PhD days but didn't get time to write about it. Recently, 3rd year B. Tech undergraduate student Ankit Mishra came to me for doing a project related to the electromagnetic field. I gave him those papers with erroneous Maxwell's equations and told him to identify the errors. He quickly identified the mistakes, and we wrote a comment paper to analyze the possible errors. It is surprising to us that if an undergraduate student can identify those errors; why no one tried to correct them? These erroneous papers are cited more than 100 times. Still, no one reported these errors. I am not criticizing any individual for those errors and the propagation of errors; rather, the problem is in the system, which allows the propagation of the errors.

Why is it important?

This paper is written to stop further propagation of erroneous Maxwell's Equations. It is concluded that researchers should not cite reference without reading the original text.
