The Assam AAP spokesperson accused the government of selling tickets for a mega Bihu event, which were being distributed for free among the masses.
Assam Police today arrested an Aam Admi Party (AAP) spokesperson over a social media post alleging the state government was doing business in the name of Bihu celebrations.
Sushant Kumar Nath has been charged with promoting enmity between different groups, circulating rumours, and criminal conspiracy.
AAP members staged a protest outside a police station in Guwahati and demanded his release, with the state party unit claiming he has been arrested in a "fake" case.
"The government should be instead given a Guinness World Record for selling tickets to watch Bihu," Mr Nath had posted on the social media, referring to the mega celebrations planned in Guwahati aimed at setting a world record.
