500 Kashmir social media accounts under scanner
Dozens to be booked

Early Times Report

Srinagar, Mar 15: Even as the government has revoked restrictions on use of the social media in Kashmir and majority of users are believed to be behaving as responsible citizens online, around 500 handles have come under the scanner of the intelligence agencies.
Sources said a special cell of the Jammu and Kashmir Police operating from multiple control rooms in Kashmir have been assigned the sole task of keeping eye on any radical or provocative activity online.
“Apart from social media surveillance, those accessing terror websites or such content online are also being tracked,” the sources said.
The sources said in one particular case, a man had threatened a senior police official of dire consequences on social media and that a FIR has been registered in that regard.
Sources said more than fifty percent of these 500 odd accounts are fake but that police have found real IP addresses of most of such handles. Sources said while some of such handles were found to be promoting “secessionist ideology”, others were spreading fake news.
A senior official said while several such accounts are being operated from Pakistan, many others are being run from Kashmir itself. “Their IP address as verified by cyber police suggest that they are operating from Kashmir as well,” the official said.
He said the police department has evolved a multi-pronged strategy to tackle the menace. “One of the strategies is to get such handles blocked and the other is to get cases police registered against them. We are working on both,” said the official on the condition of anonymity.
However, the official said the “good news” was that majority of people of Kashmir were behaving responsibly on the social media. “Unlike last year, now people are behaving more like responsible citizens and not resorting any anti-national or unlawful activities online,” said the official.
It is pertinent to mention that in compliance to Supreme Court directive to regularly review of internet restrictions in Kashmir, the government revoked ban on use of social media and VPNs in Kashmir on March 4, after seven long months.
