A week after a mob lynched two Hindu priests and their driver in the Gadchinchale village of Palghar district, the Maharashtra government released the names of all 101 adults accused on Twitter to put a stop on fake news about communal violence.

On his official twitter handle, Home Minister Anil Deshmukh tweeted a list of all arrested accused and said, "The list of the 101 arrested in the #Palghar incident. Especially sharing for those who were trying to make this a communal issue."
