Short film by police against social media dangers draw attention

A short film directed and scripted serving police personnel and uploaded over the social media handles of the police has drawn considerable attention attracting over four lakh views

Social media manipulation has reached a point where even senior law enforcement officials are not being spared. Recently a few persons were arrested on the charge of creating fake Facebook profiles of senior police officials like ADGP Vijay Sakhare and IG P. Vijayan. The widespread creation of fake profiles coupled with the increasing instances of the honey trap where gullible victims are trapped over social media have prompted the State Police to create awareness about the need to be circumspect while using social media.
