As many as 37 people have been arrested in connection with rumour mongering during Assam conflict that led to exodus of people from the northeast from various cities, the government told Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.

Of these, 24 persons were arrested by Karnataka police in connection with 17 cases filed in the state on the issue. The rest were arrested by Pune police which has registered cases against them.

Replying to a question on the steps taken by the government to control the situation arising out the rumour mongering during the Assam conflict, minister of state for home Mullapally Ramchandran said: "As per reports the exodus of northeastern people from cities of the country was triggered off because of a communally surcharged atmosphere created by circulation of SMSs, MMSs, mails, clips and photographs on social networking sites which were false, morphed and calculated to incite hatred among communities."

The minister further said that the Centre was alive to it and blocked bulk SMSs and MMSs for 15 days apart from blocking relevant social networking sites that carried hate messages.

"This as well as the exposure of the fact that many photographs and clips were false/morphed; and were uploaded abroad has discredited this attempt. As a result, the communally surcharged atmosphere has eased," the minister said.
