Wayanad landslides: Police launch probe into social media campaign against Kerala CM's call for aid The Kerala Police have initiated an investigation into an alleged social media campaign targeting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's Facebook post, which requested assistance for those affected by the landslides in Wayanad district.

The police warned of strict legal action under the law against those who edit, produce and disseminate fake posts in such a way so as to spread misconceptions.
