An FIR was registered in this case on Thursday, the day when the posts came to light, Shaikh said adding, and the offensive material on Facebook had led to tension in this communally-sensitive city in central Maharashtra.
In the second case, City Chowk police arrested a 24-year-old man, Amit Chavaria, for posting an allegedly objectionable image related to a particular community in a WhatsApp group.
“Chavaria was arrested on June 3. He posted the offensive picture on June 1 and the same day an FIR was registered,” police added.
The arrest come after the issuance of strong orders by the state HM R R Patil of not sparing any person who spreads hatred in the society due to the killing of innocent IT man Mohsin Shaikh in Pune at the hands of members of Hindu Rashtra Sena.
