BJP supporter arrested in Tamil Nadu for spreading false information about Odisha tragedy
The Tamil Nadu Police arrested a BJP supporter from Thuckalay in Kanniyakumari district on Thursday for spreading wrong information regarding the Odish triple tain tragedy.
The accused has been identified as Advocate Senthil Kumar. He had tweeted that Bahanaga Baazar railway station master Mohammed Sheriff Ahmed went underground after the tragic train accident. Kumar also mentioned that he should be questioned.
However, the inquiries conducted debunked the false information spread by Kumar. It was revealed that the station did not employ anyone in the name of Mohammed Sheriff Ahmed. Subsequently, it was revealed that S.B. Mohanty was on duty as Station Superintendent, and S.K. Patnayak was the station manager at the time of the horrific accident.
As information disseminated on social media spreads quickly and has the potential to create unnecessary tension, Dinesh Kumar, a DMK member, filed a complaint with the police against Senthil Kumar for spreading false information on his social media with the idea of creating communal division, insisting fear and promoting religious hatred.
Police have stated that further investigation is underway.
