YouTuber arrested for uploading Mamata Banerjee's derogatory memes

A 30-year-old YouTuber was arrested from Nadia on Tuesday for allegedly uploading West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's derogatory memes, police said on Wednesday.

A police officer said that a 22-year-old man lodged a complaint on Monday saying Tuhin Mondal circulated the derogatory and abusive memes after editing Banerjee's speeches.

In April 2012, Ambikesh Mahapatra, a professor at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, was arrested after he forwarded an email containing a cartoon of Banerjee. This year, Kolkata Police arrested another YouTuber Roddur Roy for abusing Banerjee on Facebook.
