NEW DELHI (AFP) - Indian police are seeking the owners of around 100 social media accounts accused of sharing fake news after mob attacks on mosques in the country's north-east.
Last month's violence in Tripura state erupted on the sidelines of a rally for hundreds of followers of a right-wing Hindu nationalist group.
The incident appeared to be a revenge attack prompted by the killing of several Hindu worshippers across the border in Muslim-majority Bangladesh.
Four mosques were vandalised and several Muslim-owned homes and businesses were ransacked.
......
A police report released to the media on Saturday identified 102 posts that it said were published by "unknown miscreants" to provoke conflict between "people of differing religious communities".
......
Leaders of India's minority Muslim community say they have increasingly been subject to attacks and threats, with little opportunity for official recourse, since the Hindu nationalist party came to power in 2014.
