City Police today arrested a man for allegedly posting an objectionable comment on Facebook.

Manish Maheriya was arrested following a complaint lodged by Jaimin Gadhvi, a release from the City Crime Branch said.

Gadhvi had named three persons including Maheriya in the complaint, alleging that they posted objectionable comments on Mogal Mata, a family deity, on a Facebook group called "Apna Adda".

Maheriya, who uses the name 'Manish Manjulaben Bhartiya' on his Facebook page, was arrested on the charge of 'hurting religious sentiments' under the relevant sections of IPC.

His mobile phone -- from which he allegedly posted the comment -- was also seized by the Crime Branch sleuths, the release said, adding that police were searching for the other two persons.
