No it is not true. Furthermore the recitation of Surat Yaseen, and many other things, on this night are all Bid'at/Innovation in religion. There are no Ahadeeth supporting such worships being done on this night, the ahadeeth that do exist they are either Weak (Da'eef) or Fabricated (Mawdoo'). And may Allah forgive my mistakes.
