The Nagaland Police Department has issued a warning to its officers and personnel against unauthorised circulation/sharing/leaking of confidential/restricted and operational messages such as MVCP, Narcotic Cases etc. in an unauthorized manner in many non-police WhatsApp groups and other social media.

The Department has cautioned that such unauthorized circulation of confidential and operational information is a serious misconduct and may attract disciplinary measures and other legal actions and directed all unit Commanders and other Senior Officers to sensitize all ranks and files under their command to handle professional/official communication with due care.

It stated that such leakages may alert the potential criminal and anti-social elements and defeat the purpose of police actions.

Further, the Nagaland Police has urged the public to exercise caution and not circulate any such messages that are shared with them advertently or inadvertently.
