Calcutta. Kolkata Police on Sunday arrested a Class 12 student for posting inflammatory, abusive comments and death threats against West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on her social media handles. The incident took place after the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Hospital. A section of social media users, including TMC leaders, had expressed concern over the Instagram post, which also mentioned Indira Gandhi. These people urged the police to take action.

In a statement, the Kolkata Police said that a complaint was received that the accused student uploaded three Instagram stories related to the recent incident at RG Kar Hospital. In them, the victim's photo and identity were revealed, which is a crime. The accused also posted two stories against the West Bengal Chief Minister. These contained objectionable comments and death threats. These posts were inflammatory and could trigger social unrest and incite communal hatred at any time.
