The Nagaland Police Department on Wednesday issued a gag order asking its officials and personnel not to leak confidential, sensitive or restricted information in non-official WhatsApp groups and social media as such acts alert criminals and hamper police work and investigation.
In an official release, the Nagaland Police Department said, “It has come to the notice that some Officers/Personnel of the department have circulated confidential/restricted and operational messages such as MVCP, Narcotic Cases etc. in an unauthorized manner in many non-police WhatsApp Groups and other Social Media.”
“Such unauthorized circulation or sharing or leaking of sensitive information may alert the potential criminal and anti-social elements and defeat the purpose of police actions”, Nagaland police added.
“All unit Commanders and other Senior Officers are directed to sensitize all ranks and files under their command to handle professional or official communication with due care”, it said.
Further, the Nagaland Police has also urged the public to exercise caution and not circulate any such messages that are shared with them advertently or inadvertently.
