His FB post said islanders were in distress as only two ships operated to the mainland
Hussain Manikfan, Assistant Director of Lakshadweep Tourism, was arrested on Friday night by the Lakshadweep Police following a Facebook post in which he said that only two of the total seven ships that link the isles with the mainland were operating, with the result that the islanders were in distress.
He was granted bail by the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Androth, which termed the arrest as “misuse of power”. The police had charged him under non-bailable provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
His FB post read: “Only 2 of the 7 ships are running and people are going through hell. In a skewed logic, this will be a justification for not requiring more ships.” He further mentioned that the ships could be made operational in no time, if there was will.
