Jagatsinghpur: Odisha Police have arrested a 30-year-old man from Korania village under Naugaon tehsil in Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur district for allegedly posting provocative and objectionable comments against Prophet Muhammad and Mahatma Gandhi on social media.
The accused was identified as Jayaprakash Mohanty, a contractual worker in a reputed company in Paradip town.
