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.

Man allegedly arrives with deadly weapon to attack another, caught by public in Jokatte
Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.
Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.
Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.
During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.
While escaping, Naveen is said to have fallen from his two-wheeler near the Jokatte Panchayat area. Local residents who rushed to help noticed a deadly weapon on the vehicle and immediately alerted police.
Officials from Panambur Police Station rushed to the spot, took Naveen into custody and brought him to the station.
A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by Devi Prasad Acharya, and further action is under way.
