Going against all rules, police in Rampur (UP) have arrested and sent to the district jail a class 11 student of a reputed public school in Bareilly for uploading what they called an 'objectionable' post against Samajwadi Party strongman and the state's urban development minister Azam Khan.
Khan's media in-charge Fasahat Ali also lodged an FIR against the boy. Later, in a court which sent the student to 14 days in judicial remand, his family members said that he had merely shared the post on Facebook and not uploaded it.
According to the police, the boy, whose exact age could not be immediately ascertained, was picked up from his house on Monday evening and kept in police lock-up at the Ganj Kotwali thana.
