Srinagar: The Cyber Crime Cell of Jammu and Kashmir police has claimed to have uncovered a network of youths who used social networking sites to foment trouble in the state during the last few years.
"We have identified the persons who have been indulging in trouble mongering over the past couple of years by using the social networking sites," Inspector General of Police (Kashmir Zone) SM Sahai told PTI.
Some of the youths have already been questioned, but no arrest has been made so far in the case, he said.
hey were operating pages like 'Freedom of Dawn', 'Balai Khuda', 'Aalov' and 'we love Syed Ali Shah Geelani' on Facebook, which allegedly supported separatist agenda and stone-pelting incidents during the summer unrest of 2010.
In fact, these pages had become reliable sources of information about incidents during the five months of unrest that year as Internet users from various parts of the Valley posted latest events on these pages, they claimed. Anti-national pages being operated from abroad, including in UK, US, Pakistan and the UAE, have been tracked down and most of their administrators are Kashmiris based in these countries, they claimed.
