| Bluetooth was used to circulate provocative video clips in Kashmir | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
ANANTNAG, Dec 19: Even as SMS services in the state were banned during the summer unrest, the protests had continued unabated as militants and their sympathizers used Bluetooth technology in cellphones to circulate “provocative” video clips.
”The provocative clips were sent from one mobile to another using Bluetooth. Even though the SMS is banned, they used the Bluetooth. With most of the youth whom we have arrested (during the unrest), we found these provocative video clips,” south Kashmir police DIG Shafqat A Watali told reporters here today.
The DIG claimed that the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), module which was busted in south Kashmir, was using the Bluetooth technology to distribute “provocative” video clips which he said “can motivate anyone”.
Watali, however, did not say who had made the videos or what their content was.
The government banned the SMS services in the state as protests erupted in the region in the aftermath of the killing of a teenage student when he was hit in the head by a tear smoke cannister fired by a policeman.
During this summer’’s unrest, protestors used mosque loudspeakers to broadcast the Jihadi anthems and speeches of militant leaders - reminiscent of the early 1990s when militants would play these songs to boost their morale.Protestors also used the internet and social networking sites as a means to remain connected with each other and spread the message of dissent. |
