The Thuckalay police have arrested an advocate, who is a supporter of BJP, for posting a tweet in connection with the recent train accident in Odisha on his Twitter handle with the motive of triggering religious hatred.
After the tragic train accident in Odisha in which 278 passengers lost their lives while over 1,000 were injured, advocate Senthil Kumar, a BJP supporter from Paruththivilai under Thuckalay police station limits, had tweeted that Bahanaga Bazaar Station Master ‘Mohammed Sheriff Ahmed’ went underground after the accident and hence he should be grilled.
However, inquiries revealed that one S. B. Mohanty was on duty as Station Superintendent at the time of the accident and one S. K. Pattnayak was the Station Manager. There was no one working in the station by the name ‘Mohammed Sheriff Ahmed’.
