A 20-year-old youth was arrested here on charge of uploading an objectionable picture in the facebook, police said on Saturday.

Sahu was picked up and arrested, Sethi said adding that he had been booked under the provisions of IT Act besides section 153(A), 295(A) and 298 of IPC for fomenting enmity between two communities and disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the society.
