PTI | September 24, 2010



A 24-year old youth has been arrested here for allegedly sending a mischievous SMS regarding the court verdict on Ayodhya title suit in the name of a Muslim MLA of the Union Territory.

A large number of Muslims in Karaikal yesterday received an SMS warning them not to venture outside today. The Allahabad High Court was to have delivered its verdict on the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit today, but the Supreme Court had deferred it by a week.

"Nobody can save you if you move out," warned the message which had the sender's name as Karaikal North MLA A M H Nazeem of DMK, police said today.

The message, which also requested that it be forwarded to all Muslims, caused a flutter in the town.

On information, Karaikal police swung into action and within hours traced the message to Yousuf (24) of Pudhuthurai.

During interrogation, Yousuf confessed that he sent the message to create a panic situation, police said.
