Man arrested over alleged objectionable social media post on PM Modi

Budaun: Uttar Pradesh police on Friday arrested a 30-year-old man for allegedly posting objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his social media account.

The accused, Rehan, hailing from Nadayal village under Sahaswan police station limits, had made the post carrying objectionable remarks against PM Modi and the post went viral on at least a couple of social media platforms, police said.

Sub Inspector Rajesh Kumar, posted in the station, registered a case against Rehan, In-charge of the police station Sanjeev Kumar Shukla said.

This comes only days after a small-time politician from Hyderabad's Old City was arrested on Wednesday for threatening to behead Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

The man in the post had said that the RSS and BJP leaders should apologise for the controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammad made by suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, or their heads would be severed

Meanwhile the 'alleged' posting of objectionable posts' has thrown Alt News co-founder Mohammad Zubair in the clutches of Delhi Police, while now suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma is still at large and has been summoned by Mumbai and Kolkata Police for her blasphemous comments on Prophet Mohammad.

The Supreme Court on July 1 had harshly criticised suspended BJP politician Nupur Sharma for her derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad, declaring that her "loose tongue" had "put the entire country on fire," and requiring her to make an instant public apology.
