Website of Meerut based school has been reportedly hacked by some subversive forces hailing form neigbouring country while SMSs were sent on mobile phones to once again fuel communal tension in Western Uttar Pradesh, especially to polarise the vote bank in the coming Parliament elections. 

The sleuths of the intelligence agencies who were already on the job to monitor the social media as well other internet sites since Muzaffarnagar riots took place, are now busy identifying the culprits as well as to take preventive measures to maintain communal harmony in the entire State. A alert has been also sounded in wake of celebration of festival of colours Holi on coming Monday. Just in last week, pro Pakistani slogans were raised by Kashmiri students of a College during India-Pakistan tie in Asia Cup. 

The college administration took the matter seriously and even the local police registered a case of waging war against the country but later due to political intervention, sedition charges were withdrawn by the local police.Sources confirmed that a website of popular college at Sardhana road under Kankarkheda locality of Meerut has been hacked by some citizen reportedly hailing from Pakistan. Intelligence sources confirmed that after hacking the site, the culprit in efforts to hurt the communal sentiment of the local public had uploaded a clipping showing objectionable things about national flag. The 

clipping also showed Pakistani national flag flying in the background. The College administration which took notice of the clipping informed the senior officers of the district who reportedly handed over the probe and appraised senior officers of the evil design. 

Sources further confirmed that in another such attempt, another vedio clip of 35/40 seconds has been sent through SMS on mobile numbers of some residents of Gautambudhnagar (Noida). The SMS showed that how members of a minority community was forced to say as per the diktats of member of upper caste and also compelled to use objectionable words against a neighbouring country. The sleuths of the Intelligence agencies reportedly went on their toes to identify the person who is trying to fuel communal tension. Sources said that the intelligence agencies also get success in identifying the person whom they suspected to be working to turn the atmosphere in a particular Party’s favour through polarisation. Efforts were now on to round-up the culprit and to take appropriate action in the matter.
