Cartoonist arrested for a caricature of Tamil Nadu chief minister EK Palaniswamy, the Tirunelveli police commissioner and the collector, according to a report.
The report was filed against the cartoonist G Bala for ‘defaming’ the chief minister and showing him in a bad light.
In the cartoon, Bala reportedly criticised the chief minister and the government for their inability to prevent a family from committing suicide in Tirunelveli.
The post garnered over 38,000 shares on Facebook and was also widely shared on Twitter under the hashtag #NellaiFamilyAblaze.
A case has been registered against Bala under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act and Section 501 of the Indian Penal Code.
