    Lakhimpur SP Mihirjit Gayan told PTI that Reetam Singh was arrested after BJP MLA Manab Deka's wife complained against him for a post on social media.

    Digital Desk: Assam Congress spokesperson Reetam Singh was arrested from his residence in Guwahati for a social media post on Saturday. Following a post by Singh enquiring about the status of cases against three BJP leaders, including two current MLAs, he was arrested by a team of Lakhimpur district police with assistance from Guwahati police. 

    Lakhimpur SP Mihirjit Gayan told PTI that Reetam Singh was arrested after BJP MLA Manab Deka's wife complained against him for a post on social media.

    Earlier on March 13, Reetam Singh posted on X, "These culprits got the punishment they deserved. but what @BJP4Assam r@pe accused Ministers and MLAs like Manab Deka, Ex Party President Bhabesh Kalita, ex-Minister Rajen Gohain? Is the law equal for all?"

    During the arrest, Singh claimed that no warrant or notice was served on him as several police forced him to sit inside a vehicle in the presence of many Congress leaders including Congress Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi.

    After the arrest, the Congress party condemned the Assam government by accusing the act as "worse than atrocious."

    Taking to X, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh posted, "The arrest of my young colleague Reetam Singh for a perfectly reasonable social media post is worse than atrocious Mr. Chief Minister @himantabiswa."

    Meanwhile, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma replied to the X post of Jairam Ramesh and said that Singh was arrested because of a caste-based insult directed at a Dalit woman.

    Replying to the Congress leader's X post, CM Sarma posted, "Sir, this case pertains to a caste-based insult directed at a Dalit woman. If you justify calling the husband of a Dalit woman a rapist as a 'perfectly reasonable' social media post, it speaks volumes about the direction in which you people have taken the Congress party. But, just wait-the big revelation is yet to come-The nexus of your senior leader with ISI and Pakistan will be exposed by September."
