The Telangana police on Sunday, May 17, issued notice to 16 ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handles, including those of Hyderabad-based media outlets like The Siasat Daily and NewsMeter, for allegedly ‘promoting public unrest’ by publishing ‘inflammatory and communal content'.
The videos and photographs published by the handles pertain to the communal clash that took place between two groups in Hyderabad’s Gudimalkapur area after cow vigilantes stopped a lorry driver alleging that he was illegally transporting cattle.
