Dalit Scholar Kamal Bharti was arrested after making allegedly derogatory remarks against Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan in a Facebook post about suspended bureaucrat Durga Shakti Nagpal, reported the PTI.
Bharti had posted that Nagpal was arrested for ordering the demolition of a mosque wall, but when a Madarsa in the state was abolished no action was taken against the officials who were deputed to execute the demolition. He had reportedly added: “It is the ‘will and wish’ of the Urban Development minister Azam Khan which prevails and not the law of the land”.

After the public outrage during the Palghar girls incident, UPA govt had issued guidelines supposedly to prevent this happening again :

Isn't this surprising that it happened again ?
Does the above guideline have any effect then ?
Also why is the PTI report silent on the section number under IT Act which was used for this arrest ?
Something fishy ?
