A Facebook status update can get you arrested in India

[Pksecurity]

A Facebook status update was such an offense that the state government of UP arrested a Dalit writer. The writer made a comment on the ongoing controversy in the Durga Shakti Nagpal case on Tuesday and the police hurriedly arrested him in Rampur. The post was against the state administration in which Kanwal ****** criticized the "double standards" at work in suspending a young IAS officer for reportedly demolishing the wall of a mosque in Noida but ignoring another communally sensitive demolition in senior minister Azam Khan's district, Rampur. According to The Times of India, ****** claimed in his post on July 29 that "an old madrassa was demolished in Rampur. The in-charge of the madrassa was arrested and put in jail for opposing the move. The Akhilesh government did not suspend any officer because Azam Khan rules the district, not Akhilesh... Even the Almighty cannot stop Azam Khan."

****** was arrested on Tuesday on the complaint of Shafaquat Shanu Khan, an aide of Azam Khan, but was later released on bail. The chief judicial magistrate did not find any merit in the charges leveled against ******. The social networking sites, on hearing about the arrest, mounted a massive support for ****** and his comments deemed offensive by the administration, went viral almost instantly. ****** is a known writer and his textbooks are prescribed in many universities.
