Man held for Facebook posts targeting PM, Sibal and Mulayam

LUCKNOW: A man in Agra has been arrested for "communal and inflammatory" posts on social networking site Facebook targeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, union communications minister Kapil Sibal and Uttar Pradesh's ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, police said on Tuesday.




Sanjay Chowdhary, a resident of the Dayalbagh suburb of Agra, was arrested late on Monday and his laptop, sim card and data card impounded.

Police in Agra, about 360 km from here, said the arrest, which some see as an attempt to muzzle freedom of speech and expression on social networking sites, was made on "specific information" about certain "communal and inflammatory" posts by Chowdhary. However, officials here admitted that the "case became hypersensitive after some remarks were made on the SP chief".

Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Agra, Subhash Chandra Dubey said police had acted "purely on law and order basis" in the matter.
