Hyderabad: Telangana BC welfare minister Ponnam Prabhakar has warned that those spreading false information and misleading the people through social media, where the use of objectionable language against the chief minister, ministers or their family members is shared, will be booked by the police.
Addressing the media in the wake of protests against the State government against the demolitions by Hyderabad Disaster Response Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRA) in various places in the city on Friday, Ponnam said that he has informed the city police commissioner to take strict action against those who have been circulating such videos.
