A Professor of Jadavpur University was arrested for allegedly spreading the cartoons of the West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress Ms. Mamata Banerjee on the Internet.
Ambikesh Mahapatra, who is a Chemistry Professor of the University, was arrested on Thursday night on charges of forwarding "derogatory images" of Mamata to nearly 65 recipients and mocking her government policies.
The "anti-Mamata Banerjee" cartoon is based on Satyajit Ray's movie "Sonar Kella", which allegedly show Mamata and Railways Minister Mukul Roy discussing how to get rid of party MP Dinesh Trivedi, who has recently resigned as theUnion Railway Minister over passenger fare hike.
