Doesn’t take much.

(FP) – Tension gripped the Saraimeer area of Azamgarh district on Saturday, after members of a minority community torched a police outpost and damaged a police jeep over derogatory comments against their religion on Facebook, the police said.

“As many as 15 persons have been taken into custody over the incident. Heavy force has been deployed in the area,” said Ravi Shankar Prasad, circle officer, Phooplur, adding that the police resorted to lathi charge and tear gas shells to control the situation.

According to the police, a derogatory post against Islam was uploaded to Facebook three days ago. Angered by the post, locals gathered at the police station on Friday.
