00:00And cases have been registered against 25 individuals for social media posts.
00:06The police have said that the reason these people have been booked is because they disrupted peace in Karoor during the tragedy.
00:13This comes even as Chief Minister Stalin today, while in fact issuing a video statement, urged people to avoid spreading misinformation,
00:23urged people to avoid spreading fake news on the Karoor stampede.
00:2825 people have been booked. The question that will be asked, however, is why they've been booked.
00:33Because very often when you see these kind of cases of supposed misinformation,
00:37it also inevitably turns out that some of these people would have put out posts that weren't exactly favourable narratives and so they've been booked.
00:46So we'll wait for those particular details. Listen in for now to what the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said.
00:58If you would like to ask us, any of these people, any of these people will have asked us to ask them to do so please.
01:05They would say that their husbands had been persecuted every day.
01:07They would say that their husbands had never changed every day with their husbands.
01:11They would say that their husbands, they would not have been booked.
01:12They were booked on the same time in a single case with their husbands, they would say they were seen because their husbands, their wives and husbands have changed.
01:18Okay, Anagar Keshav is joining us with more details on this.
01:21Anagar, any details as to exactly who's been booked right now,
01:25the cases against 25 people, who are they?
01:31In fact, Akshita, we are still waiting to find out who exactly these individuals are.
01:3525 people have been booked a case against.
01:40In fact, what we are learning is that all these people,
01:42in fact, in today's age when there is social media,
01:44anybody has the power to speak their mind.
01:47In fact, the government says that there is a lot of misinformation that is also being spread,
01:51which can cause further panic and fear-mongering.
01:55And that's why the government says that first it was the chief minister who put out a video statement
01:59urging people to not spread misinformation, which could lead to a lot more chaos and panic.
02:04And now, Tamil Nadu police, after in detail examining the videos that were put out on social media,
02:10including the kind of comments,
02:11that's why we believe the Tamil Nadu police have registered a case
02:14and they'll also be arresting these individuals is what we hear.
02:17And like you mentioned, whether these people were arrested and booked a case against
02:21because they tweeted things that were not unfavorable of the government,
02:25that's still a question mark that we know only after we access the full details of those individuals
02:29who are listed in that complaint copy.
02:33All right.
02:33Thanks Anagar for those details.
02:34We're going to continue tracking all the updates that come in.
