Srinagar, Sep 24: Following claims circulating on social media suggesting mass detentions, Srinagar police have come forward to deny these accusations.
The authorities clarified that the claims of thousands of individuals being imprisoned are misleading and exaggerated.
In a series of tweets from their official handle on X, the Srinagar police said only a limited number of individuals, known for their past involvement in disrupting electoral processes and with criminal backgrounds, are currently under preventive legal measures.
“Apropos to social media assertion by certain quarters that thousands of people are lying in the jails, it’s stated that few mischevious elements with past conduct & proclivity of disrupting electoral process & having criminal antecedents are being dealt & bound down under preventive sections of Law following due procedure of law,” reads the police tweet.
It reads as, the preventive sections of law provide law enforcement agencies security for keeping peace and good behavior. Also, legal measures duly reported are adhered to ensure free and fair electoral process. People are advised to refrain from according any credence to such unfounded and spurious assertions.— (News Vibes of India)
