In an attempt to reduce the spread of false news in India and prevent the lynching of magic from happening in India at an alarming rate, the government has begun a massive concentration on the dissemination of false news on social media, including WhatsApp.
Junaid Khan, a student from the city of Talen, in the central state of India in Madhya Pradesh, was arrested on February 14 after a complaint filed at the police station by some locals on the basis of charges derived from 'a message that was transmitted in a group of WhatsApp which was the Administrator, who led (the administrator of the group) to be arrested.
The police alleges that the man was the administrator of the WhatsApp group, but his family argued that it was made a "default administrator" of the group only after the original administrators had fled the group. However, the police say they took measures based on the evidence they have seen. The police say that Junaid was the administrator of the WhatsApp group when the case was noted.
This crackdown by the Indian police has already seen a 21 year old student who has already spent 5 months in jail for being the admin of a WhatsApp group in India for spreading what the police called “objectionable content”.
It can be recalled that fake whatsapp messages has led to the lynching of many people in India for suspicions of child kidnapping and other reasons.
His family says otherwise. “Junaid was a member of the group, but not the admin when the post was already shared, he was made the admin after the post has already circulated and the real admins fled the group”.
He could not write his exams as the court already denied him bail and he has already spent the last 5 months in jail. Police says it has commenced investigation if there were indeed other admins in the group who left.
