Apart from these, there have also been several instances of Indian youth trying to join the IS. The cyber space is being watched and intelligence at ground level has also been stepped up,” another officer said. The Social Media Lab of the Mumbai police is currently trawling social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter to check for any activity related to the Orlando shooting as well as the IS. “People are more open about their preferences in Mumbai, and hold regular events for likeminded individuals, which are well publicised and talked about. While the Orlando incident by itself has been trending on social media since Sunday, the police are on the lookout for related trends that might indicate a rising influence among Mumbai residents, said sources.
