Days after Delhi Police head constable approached the Supreme Court seeking compensation of defamation caused by social media, the Internet platform is being used to paint the death of 40-year-old dentist in communal colours.

Dr Pankaj Narang was beaten to death in West Delhi's Vikaspuri area on Wednesday. After the incident, some netizens tried to spread the rumour that a Bangladeshi national was behind the incident while some others said a 'Muslim mob' had lynched the dentist. The Delhi Police, however, clarified that the incident was not communal and urged people to refrain from mischief mongering.
