The police action was hailed by majority of people but some wanted it away from the social media.
“Good job @SrinagarPolice. Need to curb this menace, which is dangerous to life,” said a netizen in a tweet.
Another social media user said that the boys need ‘counselling not tweeting’.
“They are teenagers, need proper counselling, not tweeting! I guess we all have been through this at some point of time in our lives! Nothing to worry about, part of growing up! Yah! Thought times have changed!,” he said.
