The Tamil Nadu police yesterday booked rightwing blog OpIndia for “spreading false news” about migrant workers in the state. The case was registered against the blog’s CEO Rahul Roushan and editor Nupur Sharma at the Thiruninravur police station in Avadi.
The FIR was based on a complaint from DMK IT wing member Suryaprakash who accused the website of creating a sense of “fear” among migrant workers through false news.
