Person mistaken for child-lifter thrashed
Take care before spreading rumours in social media
Kalburgi, May 28: Following the fake messages being circulated in the social media, the panicked people have been attacking others mistaking them as child-lifters and such incidents have been increasing everyday in the state.
Mistaking a Sikh person as child lifter, a group of 30-40 people have thrashed him in Kalburgi. The victim is identified as Alvar Singh. As he was wearing a kirpan (a knife or sword) as part of his religious symbol, the people have mistaken him as child lifter. When the people noticed the victim wandering in the shandy place at Kodla with the kirpan, they questioned him. Though he has clarified it as an article belonging to Sikh religion, the suspected people have thrashed him by removing his turban, police said.
According to police, Alvar Singh has got a driver job in a cement factory in the city and he has come to city just three days ago. Now police have booked the accused under Section 326 and other provisions and investigating the issue.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has warned of taking stringent action against those who spread fake messages in WhatsApp. It can be recalled that a few days ago, people have thrashed a 26-year-old Rajasthan labour into death. In the same way, Manjunath and Raj Kumar were assaulted in Anjanappa Garden in Bengaluru. The message being circulated in WhatsApp was happened in Karachi in Pakistan and no such incidents have happened in Karnataka, the police said.
