Chandigarh: Congress leader Pankaj Punia was arrested by the Lucknow police in Karnal on Wednesday over the charges of making an objectionable post on social media.
He will be produced before the court tomorrow.
Earlier, an FIR was filed against Congress leader at the Hazratganj police station over the derogatory tweet by him.
The complaint was made by one Ashish Singh.
Punia, an AICC member, had made a vulgar remark against the Hindu religion while criticising UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Complaints in this regard have also been filed in Ghaziabad.
Slamming the tweet, many netizens have demanded that Punia's account be suspended.
