SRINAGAR: In a major crackdown on online anti-national propaganda, radicalisation, and the glorification of militancy, Cyber Police Kashmir has intensified its monitoring and enforcement efforts over the past three months, a spokesperson said in a statement issued on Thursday.
“Adverse social media handles operating across multiple platforms, including those managed from outside the country, have been identified and targeted through legal and preventive action,” the statement reads. “During this period, 200 adverse social media handles engaged in spreading misinformation and extremist content have been identified, with 100 of them operating from outside the country.”
It adds, “Several of these accounts have been blocked to curb their influence, while legal action has been initiated against key propagators, including multiple FIRs under relevant criminal laws. Security proceedings have also been started against several individuals involved in such activities.”
“Citizens are urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious online activities to the authorities. Cyber Police Kashmir remains steadfast in its mission to counter online threats and ensure a safe and secure digital environment,” the statement concludes. (KB)
