Kollam: A youth, stated to be member of the DYFI, was arrested on Tuesday for posting “derogatory” remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a social media networking site, police said.

This is the third instance of arrest of youths in Kerala for derogatory remarks against Mr Modi after he became the Prime Minister.
