COMMENT Arriving on one of my WhatsApp chat groups yesterday was a picture of four Indian youths, all handcuffed, yet still smiling.

Unverified, we were told that these four young men were involved in the broad daylight, cold-blooded shooting incident in Setapak on Wednesday where a moneychanger was shot dead after 20 gunshots were aimed at his car.

It turned out to be a hoax. The four young men were probably arrested for an unrelated crime.
