The accused were booked under various sections, says SP
Cracking the whip, the Prakasam police arrested five more persons from different parts of the State on Monday for allegedly carrying out a ‘ false propaganda’ on the social media in connection with the Singarayakonda Lakshmi Narasimhaswamy arch incident .
The arrests came close on the heels of the police nabbing eight persons, including six scribes on the charge of ‘spreading falsehood’ on the social media and through electronic media, ‘hurting’ the sentiments of devotees based on rumours spread by a local person that the idols of Narasimha Swamy and the mother goddess in the welcome arch were vandalised by unidentified persons on January 5.
