Bengal Social Media Rumours

Rumours about child abductors were being circulated on various social media platforms in some parts of West Bengal, prompting the state government to issue an advisory on Monday asking people not to believe them.

The West Bengal police are going around the villages and towns with mikes urging people to ignore rumours about dacoits, child lifters and molesters that have spread in the state which resulted in mobs lynching two men and brutally beating up two women, one of them a 70-year-old NRI.
