300 whatsapp groups used to Mobilise stone Petlers in J&K

Nearly 300 WhatsApp groups were being used to mobilise stone-pelters in Kashmir to disrupt security forces operations at encounter sites, of which 90 per cent have been shut down, a police official said on Sunday.

Each of these 300 WhatsApp groups had around 250 members, the official said

while explaining how determined attempts were being made to disrupt the operations of the security forces by mobilising stone-pelting mobs at the encounter sites.

We identified the groups and the group administrators, who were called in by police for counselling. We have had a good response to this initiative,” he said on the condition of anonymity
