A youth from north India was arrested by Bengaluru Cyber Crime Wing Police on Monday evening arrested for posting an offensive post against Sandalwood’s Power Star Late Puneeth Rajkumar, who recently died of Cardiac arrest.

The youth had allegedly posted on his Instagram account with a beer bottle. Even as the post was going viral on social media platforms, a person took a screenshot of the post and drew the attention of the Bengaluru City Police by tagging them on Twitter.

The City police immediately forwarded the complaint to the cyber wing who arrested the youth. Following the post that was not only derogatory but abusive in nature, many netizens had demanded police to take action against the youth and his friends.

The youth and his friends were disappointed for banning sale of liquor due to the death of the actor in Bengaluru. Despite ban they managed to get the liquor. In the post, the boy and his friends had carried a beer bottle in their car and clicked a photo of the bottle and posted an offensive comment that would mean ‘Nothing can stop us from having a beer and ….. on the actor’s grave.’

Even as hundreds of people on Twitter began to express their anger, Commissioner of Police, Kamal Pant personally replied to a tweet that the accused in the incident has been nabbed. Sources in the city police revealed that officials are interrogating the accused and may also take action against others who were with him in the car and clicked pictures and encouraged him to upload the same with offensive comments.
