A member of the ruling BJP's social media cell in Assam was arrested yesterday for allegedly provocative posts on Facebook. Nitu Bora, who was released on bail today, is also accused of making insulting remarks against Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal in posts on Facebook. Another person, a BJP supporter, was also arrested yesterday for defamatory posts against Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb on the social media platform. The arrests come amid a nationwide outrage over the recent arrests of five people - including journalist Prashant Kanojia - on charges of defaming Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, triggering a heated debate over freedom of expression.
