Fake FB account created in Guwahati Police Commissioner's name

Amidst a state-wide crackdown on rumour-mongers on social media in the wake of lynching of two men, police have detected a fake Facebook account of Guwahati Police Commissioner Hiren Chandra Nath, who has ordered an investigation into the matter.

Assam Police spokesperson today said a Facebook account in the name of 'Hiren Chandra Nath' was created by unknown person with some photographs of the Commissioner in uniform.

When contacted, Nath said: "I do not have any other social media account except Whatsapp. This particular account has been created by someone with some intention, which I do not know."
