Days after a Facebook post created huge tension in West Bengal, a case of another turmoil between two groups in Garhwal district’s Satpuli town over a social media post has surfaced.
Anxiety gripped the town after a minor boy allegedly shared an ‘offensive’ image of the Kedarnath shrine on Facebook.
Considering the sensitivity of the matter, the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) and District Magistrate (DM) rushed to the location.
Lately, in a comparable incident, disputes broke out between two groups in West Bengal’s Basirhat over an ‘objectionable’ Facebook post. Agitation prevails in Basirhat where communal violence broke out last Monday.
The Centre had to send around 400 paramilitary personnel to maintain normalcy in the region. Central and state BJP leaders, together with other state party MLAs were denied entry Basirhat post violence.
