Shivamogga, Feb 6: Although the premises of Sahyadri Art and Commerce College here has been wearing a calm look after dispute over dress code resulted in protests and accusations, the issue seems to have spilled out into the open. There have been attempts to fuel the controversy further and disrupt peace through inflammatory material in social websites.
Rubbishing the action of students who had protested against girl students wearing burqas inside the college campus, town-based Rehman and Imran, who are currently working in Dubai, reportedly posted threatening messages through WhatsApp. They used derogatory language to denounce the protesters. These messages have been spreading all through the district. In response, a youth from the town, identified as Preetam, too posted abusive comment against the above comments, which too has been spreading.
The posts made by these three youngsters are being discussed at various forums, and many are apprehensive about the chances of them communally inciting the youth. Without taking any chances, police have registered suo motu case in Kote police station here. They have issued lookout notices against Imran and Rehman based in Dubai. They are also making effort to nab Preetam from the town, it is gathered.
District superintendent of police, Abhinav Khare, has warned that in addition to those who post disruptive material through WhatsApp and those who share them, even the administrators of the groups concerned would be acted against.
