Jammu and Kashmir Police have booked six people for creating fake social media accounts and sharing content glorifying terrorism.

An official statement said Budgam Police have taken firm action to prevent the misuse of social media platforms. “Six individuals have been booked for creating fake accounts and sharing content glorifying terrorism that could potentially disturb public peace and incite disruptive activities,” said a police spokesperson.

He said the individuals have been identified as Hilal Ahmad Dar, Owais Ahmad Khan, Suhail Ahmad Sheikh, Umar Shafi Sofi, Mohammad Amir Khan and Shahid Mir.

“These individuals were found using fake social media accounts to propagate misleading and unlawful content. Legal action has been initiated against them as per the preventive detention laws,” said the spokesperson.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
