Harsh action will be taken if fake news is spread unnecessarily against Govt - CM Siddaramaiah

CM Siddaramaiah said that strict action will be taken against those who unnecessarily spread false news against the government or against any person on social media.

In this regard, the Chief Minister of the state tweeted a series of tweets from his official account, "Police have registered a suo moto case regarding mobile filming in a college in Udupi. An FIR has been registered. The investigation is being done by a DYSP level officer. No question of handing over the case to SIT. Further action will be taken after the investigation report is received.

Action will be taken ruthlessly against whoever commits moral policing in the state. I have instructed the police that no one can take the law into their hands.
It is our duty to create a safe and peaceful environment for the people of the state. Those who obstruct this will face strict legal action.

Soujanya rape and murder case settled in CBI court. Her parents and social activists have demanded a reinvestigation of the case. We will discuss and decide what action can be taken as per law. The court's decision will be read, and then an appeal will be filed if there is option.

Strict action will be taken against those who unnecessarily spread false news against the government or against any person on social media. "We are open to constructive criticism and comments, but abuse of freedom of expression and spreading false news against a person or his family, personal slander will not be tolerated," the tweet said.
