A youth from Bihar has been arrested in Telangana for posting fake videos of attacks on migrant workers in Tamil Nadu.
A special team of the Tirupur police nabbed the accused Roopesh Kumar, a native of Bihar from Telangana. Officials of the cyber crime wing of the Tirupur police have stepped up monitoring on social media to prevent the spread of the rumor from spreading panic.
He was taken to Tirupur on Tuesday and sent to judicial custody. The Tirupur police have registered three cases, including that of a YouTuber, for spreading fake violence videos and the culprits are on the lookout.
Over the past two days, state-appointed committees from Bihar and Jharkhand have met officials and interacted with migrant workers in Coimbatore and Tirupur districts to ensure peace for migrant workers in the state.
