Mangaluru, May 18: Police commissioner Vipul Kumar on Friday, May 18 informed that a suo motu case has been registered regarding the fake news about church attacks in the district.

Addressing media, he said, “A message about attack on a few churches in Mangaluru and surrounding areas was circulated on social media with the intention of creating panic among people. The accused is unidentified as of now and investigation is on. Suo moto case has been registered under section 153, 507, and 505 (2). People glued to social media sometimes believe such fake message which can disturb peace. If we forward such fake messages without clarifying, then it is equal to accepting and endorsing it. Investigation is on and we will find who the culprit is. I urge people to be socially responsible and not to fall prey to such fake messages. If any doubt regarding such messages, please do clarify with the police.”

Eight arrested in Adyarpadav case

“A many as 8 people have been arrested regarding trouble at Adyar Padav on May 15, after stones were pelted at a BJP victory procession. The arrested have been identified as Noushad, Junaid, Dawood, Sahul, Harish Poojary, Abhilash, Nithesh and Nishanth. We will come down heavily on those who damage religious centers, indulge in anti-social activities and create inconvenience to the general public. We have got enough forces, and also set up mobile check posts. Bad characters are under surveillance to maintain social harmony," he informed.

“Those who conduct protest and procession should do it in a disciplined way. They should avail orders from the police and go ahead only after getting approval. At any cost, it should not create inconvenience to general public and should go as per law and rules,” he said.

No bike rallies

“Usually during processions, some ask permission for bike rallies. We are adopting a single rule that there will be no permission for bike rallies. In the name of bike rally, they will violate all traffic rules, such as rash and negligent driving, no helmet, and triple ride, which create inconvenience to others. If they conduct bike rallies, we will have CCTV footage and video recording. They will be booked as per law,” he said.

Dedicated number for traffic complaints

“There have been a lot of issues in relation to traffic at our control room. So we decided to bring in a dedicated number for traffic complaints. Dedicated staff will handle complaints at this number,” he said.

DCP crime and traffic Uma Prashanth unveiled the dedicated number (9480802303) for traffic complaints.

    This was a fake news. Agreed. As soon as I got this news googled and found out it's fake. We want this news to be fake, we don't want any of such incident to be repeated. And if repeated will not be taken lightly. We don't want to say anything now. Appreciate that strict measures are being taken not to have these incidents being repeated.
    However the videos sent refreshed memories, thanks to the senders. Enough harm has been done, unfortunately history can not be wiped. It stays in our memories.

    Strict rule and as per law is OK... But it should not be selectively done ... For some it is rejected and for those who influence are given permission.... Dont do any partiality in this regard.... Respecting law and order is a must for every citizen...

    Taking such action is good. Fake news is fake.
    New should always be true, whether good or bad.
    Persons spreading have a sole intention to creating panic and hatred between 2 communities, incite violence and widen mistrust.
    They may be enjoying the panic caused to victims.
    Spreading rumors is against the interest of the communities and the nation.
    There should be harmony between communities.

    Police commissioner Vipul Kumar says that they will come down heavily on those who damage religious centers, indulge in anti-social activities and create inconvenience to the general public. There's enough police force so that Bad Characters could be put under surveillance to maintain social harmony. This is a powerful warning. When MP himself threatens to set the district on fire, what will do sir?
