Chhattisgarh Christian Forum office-bearer arrested for objectionable social media post

A 75-year-old office bearer of the Chhattisgarh Christian Forum, Arun Pannalal, has been arrested in Raipur for allegedly posting an objectionable social media comment, according to police. The complaint was filed by Amit Chimnani, a spokesperson for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, who alleged that Pannalal's comment hurt religious sentiments and promoted hatred between communities.
Pannalal purportedly made the comment on a post about a Hindu deity, which was subsequently shared on social media and led to protests by Bajrang Dal workers. Pannalal was booked under Sections 196, 299, and 352(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and is currently in judicial custody.
