WhatsApp. The biggest messaging platform on the planet is starting to replace Facebook for broadcasting live shooting for people around the world, and India is coming back to the world's attention. After WhatsApp was used to distribute fake news and innocent people were killed because of it in India, now a crime has been broadcast live through a video call using the application owned by the company Facebook.
WhatsApp. Two young Indians from Jhunjhunu beat another 24-year-old to death, a dispute between the families of the three people being the source of this crime seen by a third person. Although the beaten young man was taken to the hospital by the police, he died due to the injuries caused by the beating he received from the other two young men, all while the third person saw everything through WhatsApp, the video recording most likely reaching at police.
WhatsApp. CRIME Broadcast LIVE through the Application
WhatsApp. Both young men were arrested by the police, but so far the weapon or the object that was used to cause the wounds that caused the victim to die from the blows has not been found. All three people had criminal records, according to the police, and WhatsApp was the only method found by the attackers to show the third person what they are capable of, apparently without other people seeing what happened.
They beat him up late Sunday night. We are still trying to find the weapon that was used in the murder. The youths in our custody have close to half-a-dozen cases of theft, kidnapping, etc., against them in various police stations. We have received information that the crime was streamed live to a third person through a WhatsApp video call, but we are still trying to confirm it. Further questioning of the accused will give us the answer to this.
WhatsApp. Unlike Facebook, the messaging application does not have a function that allows making video transmissions to large groups of people, but only video calls with a maximum of three more people. Unfortunately, WhatsApp is coming back to the attention of the authorities in India, who have announced to Facebook that they will block the service in the country if the uncontrolled spread of fake news among citizens is not stopped, which has not happened completely.
WhatsApp. Unfortunately, this tragedy shows us once again what communication services are used for, but for now on this platform it is not as big a problem as on Facebook with the live transmission of crimes.
