A Kolkata professor, Ambikesh Mahapatra, learnt the hard way that posting anti-Mamata-Banerjee cartoons on social networking sites can mean big trouble in West Bengal. The professor was assaulted last night, allegedly by Trinamool Congress workers, and was arrested by the police soon after. He was released on bail, but there is outrage in Kolkata and across the Web.
