Anti-Modi Comments On FB Lands Youth In Trouble. Panaji: A Goan youth who had allegedly posted comments against Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi on his Facebook account during the Lok Sabha election campaign.
Panaji: A Goan youth who had allegedly posted comments against Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi on his Facebook account during the Lok Sabha election campaign, is likely to face arrest after a local court rejected his anticipatory bail plea here on Thursday.
The district and sessions court rejected the bail plea of naval engineer Devu Chodankar, after a local cybercrime cell investigating the complaint against him claimed that his Facebook post was a larger gameplan to “promote communal and social disharmony” in the state.
The post was withdrawn by Mr Chodankar later. Goan businessman Atul Pai Kane, who heads the BJP-led Goa government’s committee on investment and industrial policy, had lodged a complaint against Mr Chodankar, who is currently outof station.
The police had filed an FIR under Section 153(A), 295(A) of the IPC, besides Section 125 of the Representation of People Act as well as Section 66-A of the Information Technology Act. Meanwhile, Goa Congress has condemned the action, claiming that it is a blow to freedom of speech.
