Avadi police have registered an FIR against news portal ‘Opindia.com’ for spreading fake news and creating a sense of fear among migrant workers in Tamil Nadu. They filed the complaint based on ruling DMK’s IT wing member, seeking action against the website CEO Rahul Rusan and editor Nupur Sharma.

Dismissing the reports of alleged ‘attacks’ on Bihari migrant labourers in Tamil Nadu, DGP C Sylendra Babu on Monday said the situation is peaceful and the workers have resumed their work. He said the videos circulated on social media regarding the alleged ‘attacks’ were fake and most of them did not even take place in Tamil Nadu.
