'Act against those creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes- follow the Indian Penal Code" - K.J.S.Chatrath



The following section of the Indian Penal Code needs to be applied - strictly and promptly, at the very first notice of such a statement:

505 (1) (C) "Statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes.—Whoever makes, publishes or circulates any statement or report containing rumour or alarming news with intent to create or promote, or which is likely to create or promote, on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste or community or any other ground whatsoever, feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different reli­gious, racial, language or regional groups or castes or communi­ties, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both" (Emphasis supplied).
