Class 11 student sent to jail for 'objectionable' Facebook post on Azam Khan

A teenage student of Class 11 has been arrested and sent to jail for allegedly posting on Facebook "objectionable" comments attributed to Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan, kicking off a fresh controversy over the booking of people under a contentious provision of the Information Technology Act. The student of a reputed school in Bareilly was detained on Monday evening after Fasahat Ali, a close aide of Khan, filed a complaint with police. A court later remanded him in judicial custody for a fortnight.
