DMP warns against spreading rumour

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia yesterday warned that legal action will be taken against those spreading rumours over militant attacks, reports UNB. “To spread rumour is tantamount to criminal offence. A vested quarter is trying to spread various rumours through social media, telephone and (mobile phone) SMS in their ill-attempt to create panic in public mind,” he told reporters at the DMP headquarters. He further said, “Those who’re spreading rumous will be brought to book.” The DMP chief came up with the remarks when his comment was sought about many threats of militant attacks in the style of recent Gulshan terrorist attack that have gone viral in the social media. Observing that the main target of those who are circulating rumours is to create panic and topple the government, he said detectives as well as members of DMP’s Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit are keeping an eye on the social media activities to identify those spreading rumours.
