In the wake of the horrific train accident in Balasore on Friday evening, Odisha Police today has appealed to social media users to not to circulate false statements regarding the train accident stating that many social media handles are giving communal colour to the tragic train accident, which is highly unfortunate.
Since the horrific accident took place, internet is flooded with crash site images and visuals along with information related to it.

On different social media platforms, people are sharing images of the spot where the train collided, claiming a white structure near the spot is a mosque alleging that the Muslim community is responsible for the accident.
Some pictures have been viral, showing a white building structure next to the railway track where the dreadful tragedy took place. Reports said, the structure in the viral image is the Bahanaga ISKCON temple and not a mosque.
The Odisha Police said the investigation to find out the cause of the accident is being done by the GRP Odisha and appealed to prevent from circulating false and ill-motivated posts.
It has also warned of a legal action against those trying to create a communal dis-balance by spreading rumors.
Meanwhile, the authorities of the ISKCON temple in Bahanaga have accepted that the train accident happened on the tracks is near the temple and also confirmed that the ISKCON temple is visible close to the crash site.
