The J&K Police on Friday took action against six netizens in Kashmir, a day after Deputy Commissioners in the Valley issued notices prohibiting posting or uploading by way of forwarding or sharing any messages “encouraging disaffection, secessionist ideology, false narratives and hatred on religious ground”.
A police spokesman said the Srinagar Police and the Cyber Police Kashmir took “cognizance against six individuals for propagation of false information, instigative content inciting disaffection and anti-social propaganda on social media platforms”.
“Legal action under relevant sections of law has been taken,” the police said.
