<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTrinamool’s Saket Gokhale who managed to secure a bail in an alleged “fake tweet” case against Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier today has been arrested again, prompting howls of protest from his party.<\/p>\n
Chief metropolitan magistrate M V Chauhan granted bail to Trinamool leader after he was produced before the court following the completion of his police custody, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime) Jitendra Yadav.<\/p>\n
But soon afterwards he was arrested by the Morbi police in another offence registered there, Mr Yadav said.<\/p>\n
Party leader Derek O’Brien tweeted alleging Mr Gokhale was “being harassed by Gujarat Police”, adding that a delegation of party MPs is on its way to Gujarat.<\/p>\n
“@SaketGokhale @AITCofficial being harassed by Gujarat Police even after getting bail. ARRESTED AGAIN\u00a0 8.45pm Dec 8. While he was leaving Cyber PS in Ahmedabad, Police team without notice\/warrant are arresting him and taking him to unknown destination. CONDEMNABLE,” posted Mr O’ Brien.<\/p>\n

The case against Mr Gokhale, says Gujarat police, originates from a tweet alleging that PM Modi’s visit to Gujarat’s Morbi – the site of a bridge collapse in which over 140 were killed – in November cost the state government Rs 30 crore — around six times the total compensation given to the victims of the tragedy. He has also faked documents for his tweet on the subject, police sources have alleged.<\/p>\n
The government’s fact-check unit had zeroed in on the tweet, which was accompanied by what appeared to be a newspaper clipping. “RTI revealed the PM’s visit to Morbi cost Rs 30 crore,” it said. The Press Information Bureau, in its fact-check of December 1, said it was fake and “no such RTI response was given”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
