Commissioner of Police Sunil Dutt warned of strict legal action against individuals who were deliberately spreading rumours on social media about an incident that took place during a Tiranga rally held in Khammam on Monday night.
He appealed to the public not to trust rumours being spread on social media. During the rally organised by the BJP, two other youngsters traveling on a motorcycle from ZP Centre towards Khanapuram Haveli were stopped by a traffic constable at Yellandu crossroads as the rally was going on.
The youths, saying that they were going on urgent work entered into an argument with the traffic constable. Noticing this, some BJP activists in the rally also got into an argument with the youths in support of the traffic constable and it led to a scuffle, the CP said.
