The rumours also declared that police will be closely monitoring the messages being exchanged, videos and audios being shared on Whatsapp and other social media websites and thus suggested the users exercise restraint in sharing any objectionable or contentious content to others.
However, the Ayodhya police media cell has rejected the rumours saying that no such communication guidelines have been issued by the police and the rumours that are being proliferated on the social media websites are completely baseless and entirely misleading. It further warned the people that strong action will be initiated against those who are found sharing lies, rumours, communally sensitive messages, photos or videos.
The hearing of the long-drawn Ayodhya dispute ended on October 16, 2019, after arguments made by all the contending parties concluded in the matter. The 5-judges bench headed by Chief Justice of India- Ranjan Gogoi is expected to deliver the verdict before November 17.
