The man has been arrested on charges of promoting enmity between different groups under section 153-A, and for engaging in malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting religion under section 295-A of the IPC, the release said.
A 44-year-old man in Gujarat, who had allegedly made derogatory remarks on his Facebook page about the death of Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, was arrested by the Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Cell on Thursday, officials said.
However, the police clarified he has been arrested for his previous posts which also had derogatory tone and came to light only when the latest remarks surfaced.
The accused, identified as Shivabhai Ram, is a resident of Bherai village in Rajula taluka of Gujarat's Amreli district, said a release by the Cyber Crime Cell.
However, the release did not mention anything about his alleged remarks against Gen Rawat, who died in a helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday along with 12 others.
