Before Narendra Modi is sworn in as prime minister on 26 May, a young shipbuilding professional may well be behind bars, for slamming the now former Gujarat chief minister on Facebook during the Lok Sabha election campaign.
A trial court on Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail application moved by Devu Chodankar, a shipbuilding diploma holder working in Mumbai, clearing the way for his possible arrest, even as the police want to probe if Chodankar had broader plans to “promote communal and social disharmony” in Goa.
During the run up to the Lok Sabha polls, Chodankar, in a post on Goa+, a popular forum with over 47,000 members, had claimed that if elected to power, Modi would unleash a 'holocaust'. He deleted his post subsequently. However, justifying his post subsequently on another popular local Facebook forum, Goa Speaks, Chodankar while apologising for his choice of words had stood by the sum of his argument, calling it his crusade against the “tyranny of fascists”.
He also claimed that some elitist right wing elements were in the process of filing a first information report with the Goa Police’s Cyber Cell. Full story...
