Homeopath held for posting objectionable pix on social media

A homeopathic doctor was arrested from Para town of the district for allegedly posting an "objectionable" picture and a comment on social media platform, police said.

The 30-year-old doctor identified as one Atiq Khan was arrested yesterday for sharing a post that alludes to the recent crackdown on meat shops in Uttar Pradesh and some other BJP ruled states.

A local resident Anil Prajapat (21) had filed a complaint against the doctor for sharing an objectionable post on the social media site on March 26.

"Khan, who holds a BHMS degree, was arrested on charge of posting an objectionable picture and content on social media site," Jhabua police station incharge ML Bhati said today.

Bhati said the police took serious note of the complaint and have booked the accused under sections 505 (statements conducive to public mischief) of the IPC.

The accused was produced before a local court which sent him to jail, he added.
