At least three persons were arrested for allegedly spreading rumours about stone pelting via social media in a locality in Ahmedabad city, a Cyber Crime Branch official said.
Police late Tuesday night received information that messages about stone pelting in Gupta Nagar locality in Vasana area are being circulated on WhatsApp by some unidentified persons, according to a release issued by Cyber Crime.
However, this claim turned out to be false when Vasana police rushed to Gupta Nagar locality. Based on a complaint lodged by them, the city Cyber Crime Branch on Wednesday morning registered an FIR against unidentified persons for spreading rumours.
