Rural police beef up patrol on social media
The Hindu
Thirteen cases registered against inflammatory posts
The seemingly tit-for-tat double murders with overt communal overtones in the neighbouring Alappuzha district seems to have put the Ernakulam Rural police on high alert.
As a precautionary measure against any potential communal discord, the police have beefed up patrol in the virtual world too. As many as 13 cases have been registered for inflammatory posts and comments on social media handles and groups in the last two days.
Separate cases were registered at the cyber station in Ernakulam Rural and North Paravur, Kothamangalam, Muvattupuzha, Chottanikkara, Kalloorkkad, Aluva, Alangad, Binanipuram, Edathala, Angamaly, Chengamanad, Nedumbassery and Perumbavoor police stations.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
