VASCO
The circulation of alleged obscene and derogatory content targeting Hindu deities on social media has raised concern in Vasco, with a group of citizens filing a complaint at the Vasco police station and seeking action against those responsible.
According to the complaint, some individuals are accused of sharing objectionable posts, vulgar comments, and provocative material on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The complainants claim the content was deliberately circulated to hurt religious sentiments and create tension, especially during live streams of religious events.
The issue comes at a time when tensions remain sensitive following the recent controversy involving Gautam Khattar. Citizens have said such online activity could worsen the situation if not addressed quickly. The complaint reportedly names several social media users allegedly involved in posting or sharing the content.
In their submission, the complainants have called for strict legal action, stating that such material is not only offensive but could also disturb communal harmony in the State. They have urged the authorities to identify those responsible and act according to the law to prevent misuse of social media.
Police have confirmed receiving the complaint and are expected to examine the content and accounts mentioned. Officials are likely to verify the authenticity of the posts, trace those involved, and decide whether any offences have been committed under the law.
The incident highlights growing concerns over the misuse of social media and the rapid spread of sensitive content that can lead to public unrest. Authorities are expected to act carefully while ensuring that peace is maintained.
Further developments are awaited as the investigation continues.
