In a reminder of the 2012 incident when Jadavpur University professor Ambikesh Mahapatra and his neighbour were arrested for e-mailing a spoof on chief minister Mamata Banerjee and railway minister Mukul Roy, police on Friday arrested a resident of Malbazar of Jalpaiguri district for allegedly posting a comment against a local Trinamool councillor on Facebook that did not even name him.

Rohit Passi, 34, was made to sit on a stool in the duty officer’s room at Mal police station through the night and was produced before the sub-divisional magistrate on Saturday from where he got a bail for Rs 2,000.
