MANGALURU: Even as the probe into the two murder cases- Praveen Nettaru and Mahammed Fazil is gaining momentum, the police department is keeping a close watch on social media.
Speaking on the sidelines of the peace committee meeting held on Saturday, Congress leader Mithun Rai said that social media is the cause for several untoward incidents, including the spread of hatred in society. As soon as an unfortunate incident is reported, there are instances of fake news spreading on social media. Hence, we demanded a ban on social media for the next two days. We have seen several provocative posts after the murders, he said.
