Hyderabad: Tension gripped the Rein Bazaar area in the Old City on Sunday night, October 20, after a large crowd gathered to protest against communal content posted on a social media account.
Some people noticed the post on the account of a man named Thakur and approached the police to lodge a complaint against him. The number of people swelled as the news spread, raising concerns about a potential law and order breakdown.
Additional reinforcements, including a Task Force team, were rushed to the spot.
DCP of the South Zone, Sneha Mehra, said a complaint was filed, and a case was booked against the individual. “We are searching for him and will arrest him soon. People must not believe in rumors,” the official said.
The issue started around 11 pm and continued well past 3 am until police patrol teams dispersed the protesting youngsters who were standing on the road, demanding the man’s arrest.
