"A total of 76 websites were identified where morphed images were uploaded and bulk of these were uploaded in Pakistan," Singh said. "We believe it is highly reprehensible. I think it needs to be made known to everybody that this is something that is being done from Pakistan. The bulk of it has been done from Pakistan," he said. He said all these websites have since been blocked. As a step towards rumours being spread, Government has imposed a 15-day ban on bulk SMSes and MMSes.
