Police have taken prohibitory action against 191 people and registered 16 offences, he added. He said a majority of the social media posts are related to castes, indecent language, and morphing. Police have shortlisted some of the active members and appropriate actions will be taken against them, Thakur said, reported PTI.

Notably, a video purportedly containing remarks against a particular community in the backdrop of tension between two caste groups in a village in Beed district has gone viral, prompting leaders of various political parties to appeal for peace. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis (BJP) and Ajit Pawar (NCP) have appealed for maintaining peace and avoiding such commentary, reported PTI.
