Cyber attack on Hanan: Police arrest another accused

A second person was arrested on Sunday for abusing college student Hanan on social media. The girl had become an online sensation after a photo of her selling fish in her college uniform went viral on social media.

Hours after her photo made waves across the social media, a bunch of online abusers targeted her accusing her of being part of a publicity stunt for an upcoming film.

The Palarivattom police on Saturday had held a youth from Wayanad namely Yusuf Sheikh on charges of abusing Hanan online. He was released later after a 14-hour-long interrogation.

Information on 10 people who were partners in the social media campaign against Hanan has been collected by the police already.
