Shillong, Dec 6: Trinamool Congress’s national spokesperson Saket Gokhale was arrested by Gujarat police on Monday for his tweet on Morbi bridge tragedy in the western state.
In his tweet, TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien said, “Saket took a 9pm flight from New Delhi to Jaipur on Mon. When he landed, Gujarat Police was at the airport in Rajasthan waiting for him and picked him up.”
“At 2 in the morning on Tue, he called his Ma and told her that they are taking him to Ahmedabad and he would reach Ahmedabad by noon today. The police let him make that one two-minute phone call and then confiscated his phone and all his belongings,” he added.
Calling this a “cooked up case” filed with the Ahmedabad cyber cell, O’Brien said, “All this cannot silence @AITCofficial and the Opposition. BJP taking political vendetta to another level.“
