Palakkad: The police here on Monday arrested a man for posting a defamatory photograph of chief miniser Pinarayi Vijayan on social media.

Kaladharan, 45, of Kazhchaparamb, Kinassery, was arrested on the basis of a complaint from some CPM activists. Kaladharan is a driver at a private firm.

He posted the photo along with a caption, saying 'Ellam Seriyakkitharam' (Everything will be set right). The caption alluded to the ruling front's motto,

'LDF Varum Ellam Seriyakum' (LDF will come, everything will be set right) during the Assembly polls.

In last March, the Museum police in Thiruvananthapuram had registered a case against a person for allegedly making derogatory remarks against chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Facebook.

In the same month, the hi-tech crime inquiry cell of the state police issued a warning to a popular Facebook community called 'Outspoken' for trolling the chief minister.
