Police dismantle 61 drug-promoting Instagram accounts in India
Police have removed 61 Instagram accounts that promoted drug use. This action followed a legal notice issued to Instagram after a public activist and a technician flagged the accounts for sharing content that glorified substance abuse. The crackdown was part of a broader initiative by the Excise and Cyber Police to address the influence of social media on drug perceptions. Authorities conducted surveillance and verified the accounts before taking action. The police confirmed that the accounts are now inaccessible in India. They emphasized ongoing efforts to monitor and prevent the promotion of narcotics online.
