City Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar has warned administrators of WhatsApp groups of stringent legal action if they encourage and facilitate circulation of fake and disturbing videos.
“If any communal tension arises out of circulation of the videos we will identify all those responsible for creating and circulating the video. Within a couple of days we will nab them,” Anjani Kumar said.
In a tweet and later an audio message last night, he appealed to the public not to share the videos being forwarded into WhatsApp groups to create communal rift in the
city. Stating that it was time to show our love for Hyderabad, Anjani Kumar asked the public to maintain the ‘Ganga Jamuni’ tehzeeb of the city and foil evil designs of forces who envy the growth of Hyderabad as a global city.
Anjani Kumar’s appeal for maintaining harmony and brotherhood came after a handful of videos and audio messages were being circulated by people. In a particular video a man claims of plans of some groups to stir up trouble in the city. The city police denied any such information of such plans about it.
