Has Kerala police issued such a warning to the notice of people of Kerala? This question arises because usually Kerala police communicates with public via their official Facebook page. Therefore, news of such kind of warning by Kerala Police seems very unlikely. Let’s find out whether this warning indeed, has been released by Kerala Police or is it a fake post being spread in the name of Kerala police.

Our Fact check

We searched online for any news related to warning issued by Kerala Police in the interest of the public. However, we can only find a number of Facebook posts and some Malayalam websites who have published news articles based on this warning supposedly issued by Kerala Police. We inspected the official Facebook page of Kerala Police, but we could not find any such warning there.

Due to the absence of such a warning advisory on Kerala Police’s official website and official Facebook page, we contacted Kerala Police’s media cell director Mr. Pramod Kumar. Mr. Pramod Kumar told us that he has seen this post on social media but this post is not associated with Kerala Police in any way. The full quote of Mr. Pramod Kumar is as follows:

“We normally communicate with public by means of our Facebook page, which is managed by Kerala Police’s cyber cell, or by handing over press release pertaining to issues of internal security to media or by posting on our website. Even though the precautions suggested in the post are quite relevant in today’s age but Kerala police has no association such a post. We are not associated with this post.”

Also, Kerala Police have posted on their official Facebook page warning people about fake advisories being shared on social media in the name of Kerala Police. Kerala Police has posted the following on their Facebook page:

So, it has been proved in our investigation that this post is being circulated on social media in the name of Kerala Police have no association whatsoever with Kerala Police.

Conclusion

Kerala Police has not issues any such warning for the public in which they have laid down precautions against attack by robbers and burglars.
