Manipur: A spate of sexual attacks occurred after a picture of a body wrapped in polythene was circulated in the Imphal valley with a false claim that the victim had been murdered by tribals in Churachandpur. The picture was later found to be that of a woman murdered in the national capital.

The lawlessness because of the fake picture spread like jungle fire and was one of the reasons for the state government to shut down the Internet on May 3, the officials said.

Analysis by various security agencies engaged in dousing the fire in Manipur, which has been on the boil since May 3, has led to the conclusion that there is no control on fake or one-sided news being circulated even by local newspapers.

Over the past few weeks, there have been a spate of sexual attacks and violent clashes due to misinformation spread on social media, which included a graphic picture of a body wrapped in polythene circulated with a false claim that she had been killed by tribals in Churachandpur, as well as news that tribal men had attempted to attack a village that proved to be false. Police stated that misinformation was spreading despite appeals that only verified information should be published.
