Youth arrested for uploading objectionable picture on Facebook
Rourkela: A 20-year-old youth was arrested here on charge
of uploading an objectionable picture in the Facebook, police said today.
The arrested, identified as
Pintu Sahu, was taken to custody by Brahmanitarang police yesterday for posting
an objectionable picture in his facebook account, they said.
The picture showed “Lord
Hanuman sitting atop a mosque” and the picture was posted on December 6, the
day the Babri shrine (mosque) was demolished, they said.
As tension was brewing among
the community over the controversial picture, the police took Pintu into
custody.
“We got the smell of
tension. Three software specialists were pressed into service to find out the
source of the controversial picture. Finally, Pintu Sahu’s account was
located,” informed the Additional Superintendent of Police, Rourkela Sudarsan
Sethi.
Sahu was picked up and
arrested, Sethi said adding that he had been booked under the provisions of IT
Act under section 66 (A) besides section 153 (A), 295 (A) and 298 of IPC for
fomenting enmity between two communities and disturbing the peaceful atmosphere
of the society.
