GURUGRAM: A 24-year-old youth has been arrested over an objectionable post on social media, police said on Friday.
The post actually came to the notice of constable Pravesh Kumar of the Gurugram police's cyber team. Cops swung into action as the post "has the potential to disturb the communal harmony".
Originally from UP, the accused, Amir Khan, has been living in Shakti Nagar area with his family for many years. He owns a mobile repair shop near Pataudi Chowk.
