In wake of of Socialist Democratic Party Of India's (SDPI) Tamil Nadu state Secretary Umer Farook posting - and subsequently deleting - praise for Taliban on its victory in Afghanistan, the Tamil Nadu Police's cyber wing and 'Q' Branch have swung into action to monitor suspect social media accounts.

The SDPI, which has Islamist leanings, had called upon Farook to delete his post and he had immediately done so. However, the two police wings are now monitoring social media accounts of certain organisations and individuals keenly for any such content.
