A 22-year-old man was on Tuesday arrested under the charge of using derogatory words on social media against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The arrested person has been identified as one Laishram Malemnganba, son of Laishram Herojit of Waiton Maamng Leikai, Imphal East.
In a complaint lodged by state Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha president M Barish Sharma on Monday, it was mentioned that a Facebook comment on November 5 at 1.10 pm by the individual could damage the BJP's image of being Hindu-centric and directly hurt the feelings of BJP functionaries in general.
Following the FIR, Malemnganba was arrested on Tuesday from his residence, and has been remanded in two-day police custody after he was brought before the CJM, Imphal East on Tuesday.
