Kolkata : A man in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri has landed up behind bars after his rant against a local political leader on Facebook went viral. Without taking any names, Rohit Pashi, a resident of Mal in the district, in his Facebook page accused a local leader of “sweating in the court to get out on bail a murder accused”.
Taking strong offence to the post, Mal municipal councilor Pulin Goldar filed a police complaint against Pashi alleging that his post was defamatory and aimed at inciting violence.
“Pashi has not taken my name but he has mentioned about a leader who sings well, who can play the flute and who was in a court on Friday. I am the only political leader in Mal who sings, plays flute and was in the court yesterday (Friday),” said Goldar.
While Pashi was Friday taken into custody and had to execute a personal bond during the day, police claimed he was not arrested.–IANS
