The police here have arrested the youth and registered a case who posted a photo of him standing on a Shiv lingam, on Facebook recently.
Laxman Johnson stepped on lord Shiva Linga, the holy Hindu god and then compounded his mistake by uploading the controversial picture on the social networking site. Hindus all over the nation outraged by this incident and strongly condemned the insult of Lord Shiva and filed complaints against Laxman in several states.
Some organizations marched to the SSP office on Jul 25 and submitted a petition, demanding immediate action against the criminal.
According to Crime Branch Deputy SP Jitendra Singh, Laxman Johnson has been booked under IPC Section 295 a (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and also under the relevant provision of the IT Act. He said that the Cyber Cell has been asked to conduct further investigation. Police suspect that the Facebook profile used to commit the crime could be a fake one.
Laxman was a converted Christian who apparently works as a Central Railway parcel lease contractor claims himself to be the "son of Jesus Christ".
He is from Tirupati, the holy place of Sri Venkateshwara Swamy in Andhra Pradesh. Laxman currently lives at Mumbai. As per the reports, his home was burnt down by protesters.
