The Delhi Police said that two people had been apprehended in connection with spreading of rumours about a tense atmosphere in parts of the city on Sunday evening, ANI reported. The police, in a series of tweets, asked people not to believe in rumours circulating on social media about clashes in West and South East Delhi districts.
Police attributed the rumours to “concerted efforts by mischievous and anti-social elements to create panic”. “Some unsubstantiated reports of tense situation in South East and West district are being circulated on social media,” the Delhi Police said. “It is to reiterate that these are all rumours. Don’t pay attention to such rumours. Delhi Police is closely monitoring accounts spreading rumours and taking action.”
“People are advised to neither spread nor trust the rumours. Law and order situation of the whole city is under control,” the deputy commissioner of police of West Delhi said.
