THIRUVANATHAPURAM: The creation of WhatsApp groups with communal overtones , allegedly linked to IAS officer and Kerala industries director K Gopalakrishnan, has drawn widespread censure, with key political figures weighing in on the matter. Police, meanwhile, have initiated an investigation .

The first group, titled "Mallu Hindu Officers", was allegedly created on Oct 30. Exacerbating the situation, a second group, "Mallu Muslim Officers", materialised two days later, after the first group had received substantial attention and had become a point of discourse among bureaucrats. "Divisions based on religion are a grave concern, and we will investigate this," Kerala industries minister P Rajeeve said.
