The police arrested Sadiq Basha, 25, national president of All India Muslim League and the outfit’s spokesman Mohamed Yusuf.

The K.K. Nagar police registered a case against the duo under IPC sections including 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and under section 67 of the Information Technology Act.
