The arrests come as part of the department's intensified efforts to maintain law and order in the region.
Swift Police Action Prevents Potential Unrest
The accused individuals were identified as actively sharing a voice message containing sensitive material that had the potential to disrupt communal harmony in the coastal city. Law enforcement officials acted promptly after receiving intelligence about the circulating content.
