Tripura police warns people not to like unverified social media posts over recent violence

In the wake of a brouhaha over Tripura Police’s action of booking 102 people, including Supreme Court lawyers, rights activists and journalists, the state police on Sunday asked people to not believe unverified posts on social media and warned them to not like or re-tweet them as it amounts to rumour mongering.

Tripura police also said through its official twitter post that it is investigating cases of recent communal incidents in a complete(ly) impartial and lawful manner.

The state police which has been facing flak from opposition parties, rights organisations and the Editors Guild for its action, said cases have been registered against some posts, persons for committing various offences.
