Two Muslim youth from Uttarakhand got arrested for spitting in uttarayani mela

This was posted in the uttarkhand sub and comment section got divided between those who were condemning them and those who said it's not shown anywhere that they are Muslim (basically saying they could be hindu as well)

Even the video uk police posted said please don't spread false information or try to instigate panic else we will investigate those who make such post.

My point is why did the police said such words like don't spread misinformation. They were exactly what people expected these boys to be and yet police is like those who post such stuff might get in trouble.

Why can't we just condemn the criminal instead of trying to suppress those who try to spread awareness??
