Mangaluru Police Take Action Against Provocative Social Media Posts

Mangaluru police filed an FIR against two individuals for circulating WhatsApp messages that might incite communal tension. The message claimed the unauthorized presence of Bangladeshis, leading to public concern. Police emphasized legal pathways for reports on illegal immigration and reiterated protection for all individuals.

Mangaluru city authorities have taken a firm stance against the spread of potentially inflammatory social media content as they register FIRs against two individuals. The individuals allegedly circulated a provocative WhatsApp message warning Hindus of cultural shifts and unauthorized commercial establishments in a local area.

City Police Commissioner Sudhir Kumar Reddy emphasized the potential risks such messages impose on community peace, citing a recent case where a migrant worker faced assault. The accused individuals reportedly drew attention to shops marked with Bengali connections, suggesting illicit activities.

In response, the Commissioner highlighted the importance of factual verification, assuring that the family in question legally owns property. Residents are encouraged to present any valid information about illegal immigration to authorities while warnings have been issued against rash accusations or messages inciting violence.
