Patna: Police in poll-bound Bihar cautioned people against posting songs with provocative caste overtones on social media and said strict action would be taken against those trying to disrupt peace and violate the ‘model code of conduct’ in the state, DGP Vinay Kumar said.

No misuse of social media platforms will be tolerated, he said.

The comment comes after supporters of several political parties are posting songs and short videos to spread "caste-based messages", another officer said.
