Police in Assam detained a man after he posted content deemed communally provocative against the Bajrang Dal and the RSS.
Assam police arrested a resident on suspicion of publishing online material that was labelled as communally provocative towards the Bajrang Dal and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The individual was taken into custody after authorities traced the posts to his social media accounts and identified several messages that allegedly incited religious tension.
According to a statement released by the district police, the posts contained inflammatory language and targeted symbols associated with the two organisations, prompting a swift investigation under the state's anti‑terror and hate‑speech provisions. The man is currently being held for questioning, and the police have indicated that further legal action may follow based on the evidence gathered.
The arrest comes amid heightened sensitivity around communal discourse in the region, with officials warning that online provocations could exacerbate existing societal divides. No further details about the suspect's identity or the exact content of the posts have been disclosed pending formal charges.
