Amid heightened tensions, Srinagar Police in Jammu and Kashmir has zeroed in on a fake news syndicate intentionally peddling disinformation to mislead and agitate the populace. The force has formally registered a case at the Cyber Police Station.
Unverified, concocted stories have flooded certain news channels, media houses, and digital platforms, prompting this firm response. According to the police spokesperson, these efforts are orchestrated to foment disorder and poison public sentiment without any journalistic integrity.
Labeling such activities as a direct assault on India’s peace and sovereignty, officials have identified key perpetrators. Notices have gone out, summoning them to the cyber cell as investigations gain momentum. No leniency will be shown to those implicated.
The warning is unambiguous—sharing inflammatory or baseless content carries heavy legal penalties. Media and citizens must prioritize verification from trusted sources to safeguard social cohesion.
Complementing the crackdown, valley-wide curbs are active: closures of all academic setups, rescheduling of university exams, throttled internet to stifle hate-mongering, and intensified security at vulnerable areas. Srinagar Police vows unwavering vigilance against any peace-disrupting maneuvers.
