CRPF CAUTIONS AGAINST ‘FAKE PICTURES’ ONLINE

NEWDELHI: The CRPF Sunday cautioned people against “fake pictures” being circulated online of body parts of its 40 soldiers killed in the Pulwama attack, the deadliest terrorist strike on security forces in Kashmir Valley.

“It has been noticed that on social media some miscreants are trying to circulate fake pictures of body parts of our martyrs to invoke hatred while we stand united. “Please DO NOT circulate/share/like such photographs or posts,” the force said on its official Twitter handle — @crpfindia. It asked people to report such content by sending an email to webpro@crpf.gov.in.

Officials said a number of such photographs of badly mutilated bodies were being circulated and the development was brought to the notice of force officials after which the advisory was issued.
