Bengaluru: The three mystic monkeys that embody the proverbial thought, “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” have found a new friend, according to the Bengaluru City Police. This in turn led to rumour-mongering all across social media, fanning anger in both the states. To be sure, this is not the first time that social media has proved to be such an incendiary tool. As intermittent power and water logging made it impossible to access news via traditional means, information was exchanged over social media. “Social media has two sides to it,” agreed Megharikh in that same interview with Mint, “If it can be destructive, it can be constructive too.”
