The cell will have a six-member team monitoring social media content, supervised by an official of the ACP (assistant commissioner of police) rank. Besides ACP, the cell will also have a cyber station inspector and four personnel from the department with sound technical knowledge.

If any provocative issues are noticed online, a legal opinion will be sought. If any violations are found, then cases will be booked against individuals or organisations. When his attention was drawn to the provocative speech made during a programme in Surathkal, the commissioner informed that none had filed any complaints.

"We will seek legal opinion and if any violations are found, then action will be taken," he said.
