AAA The Pollachi East police on Saturday arrested two DMK functionaries on charges of posting defamatory content on Facebook against Deputy Speaker Pollachi V. Jayaraman.
In a statement, the police said that K. Nagaraj (31) and B. Sudharshan (24) from the DMK allegedly posted content defaming Mr. Jayaraman and his son on Facebook. When an AIADMK IT Wing functionary R. Sathishkumar came across these posts, he approached the duo on Friday, who allegedly threatened him, the statement claimed.
Based on Mr. Sathishkumar’s complaint, the Pollachi East police registered a case against the two accused under five sections of the Indian Penal Code including section 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506(2) (Punishment for criminal intimidation). The accused were arrested and remanded in judicial custody, the police said and warned action against those who posts content
