A migrant worker from Assam has been arrested in Kerala for allegedly sharing posts on social media that depicted the Prime Minister and other national leaders in a “derogatory manner.”
Eddisrh Ali (23), a resident of Dibrugarh, Assam, was arrested after a complaint by Deep G. Nair, the BJP president of the Aranmula constituency.
The complaint alleged that he used “Facebook and other social media platforms to propagate anti-national content, including posting derogatory images of the Prime Minister and other national leaders, and sharing pro-Pakistan videos.”
The complainant stated that “these actions are intended to create discord and incite unrest among the public.”
“It is suspected that he is a Pakistani terrorist,” the complaint alleged.
The complaint by the BJP leader does not specifically mention which post is “derogatory.”
The Aranmula police have filed a case under Section 196 of the BNS Act against Idris, who sells fish near the Aranmula bridge.
Aranmula Police Inspector V. S. Praveen took him into custody around 5 PM on Monday.
