Cops nab gang which sent hate SMSs in Bangalore
BANGALORE: Director general of police Lalrokhuma Pachau claimed police caught three persons sending hate SMSs and MMSs, after a raid at an electronic shop in Koramangala on Saturday.
He said the investigating team received information that Anees Pasha, 26, who runs a mobile shop called New Fonotech in Koramangala VII Block, started spreading rumours through SMSs and uploading videos electronically to incite hatred against people from the northeast region.
Police raided the shop, arrested Anees and seized incriminating mobile phones, computers and laptops. Anees told police that he and his associates were sending SMSs to a large number of people which wrongly depicted violence in the northeast.
Pachau said the mischief played by Anees and his brother, Thaseem Nawaz, 32, of Platinum Court in BTM I Stage, and an associate Shahid Salman Khan, 22, of Teachers' Colony in Venkatapura, had resulted in the panic and fear.
The trio was arrested and four mobiles, two computers and one laptop were seized from them. A special team was constituted under DCP (Southeast) PS Harsha, who will supervise further investigation, and will comprise ACP (Madivala) H Subbanna, inspector S Sudhir of Koramangala and Central Crime Branch staff.
"We are unable to give details of recordings of MMS clippings of violence in Assam. But we firmly believe they had partly committed the mischief, that led to the exodus," said a police officer.
A senior officer said the youths caught are believed to have shown clippings of violence in Assam and told a group of northeast youths that they would face a similar fate if they continued to stay in Bangalore beyond August 20.
"We are questioning them about what prompted them to threaten youths of this community. This act, we believe, might have been one of the reasons that set off the panic button among citizens coming from northeast and Assam," said a police officer.
"We found that the youths went around showing the clippings after riots broke out in Mumbai. That might have added to the fear psychosis," said the officer, confirming that investigation into this case is still inconclusive.
Another officer said the team will look into the background of these youths, to check whether they belong to any organization which is trying to destabilize peace in the city.
