GUWAHATI: In a most recent case of backlash over social media posts, a 15-year-old boy was allegedly thrashed by members of students’ organisation and locals in Rupohihat on Thursday, February 21.
He had posted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ on Facebook and was then beaten by an angry mob which slapped him and made him hold his ears.
The post comes in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir which occurred recently on February 14 in which more than 40 CRPF personnel lost their lives.
Prior to this, another boy from Tinsukia was beaten up for posting a pro-Pakistan status on Facebook.
Further, following such incidents, the Assam police arrested three youths on charges of sedition including the boy from Tinsukia.
