Probe will throw light on reason behind fake attack videos on migrant workers: TN DGP

Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu Director General of Police C Sylendra Babu on Thursday said thorough investigation into the circulation of fake videos of alleged attacks on migrant workers in the state would reveal the real reason behind rumour-mongers spreading it.
The situation has returned to normal among the migrant workforce due to confidence-building measures taken by the government, but the police are strictly monitoring everything as it is “critical”, Babu told reporters here.
Eleven cases were registered and three arrests were made with regard to spreading rumours and circulating fake videos across the state while police are collecting digital evidence from the recovered mobile phones, he said.
Special police teams from the state are camping in Bhopal, Delhi, Bengaluru and Patna to catch hold of the absconding accused in the case, he said.
Along with the City Police Commissioner and Superintendent of Police, the DGP had interactions with industrialists in the region, particularly Tirupur, Erode and Coimbatore, in connection with the safety of workers, the official said.
Assuring the well-being of migrant workers, he said protection has been given to their habitats and CCTV cameras have been installed in many places.
