Police said that Wajahat can be arrested for posts containing hate speech and derogatory comments on social media. He is accused of hurting religious sentiments. However, he is currently absconding.
Assam Police registered a case against him earlier this week.

Defending the arrest of Sharmistha Panoli, the police had claimed that the case was properly investigated and legal procedures were followed.
