Overview
- Baruipur police clarified that the two individuals accused by Suvendu Adhikari were engineers from Madhya Pradesh, not Kashmir, and found no suspicious activity at their residence.
- The allegedly suspicious device was identified as a standard JioFiber internet router, commonly used for connectivity, rather than a high-performance NanoBeam device as claimed.
- Adhikari shared the individuals’ address publicly on social media, tagging authorities, but did not retract his post or apologize after the police debunked his allegations.
- The police emphasized that spreading unverified information online is legally punishable and urged citizens to report concerns through proper channels instead of social media.
- The incident follows heightened national tensions after the Pahalgam terror attack, which has led to increased communal sensitivities and reports of harassment against Kashmiris.
