The cyber cell of Pune Police has arrested a 30-year-old man here for allegedly creating a fake account in the name of a Maharashtra minister on a social networking site and posting objectionable content on it.

The accused, Ruturaj Nalawade (30), a resident of Junnar tehsil in Pune district, allegedly created the fake profile on the site in the name of food and civil supplies minister Girish Bapat and also posted his photos on it, an official from the police's cyber cell said today. Sunil Mane, the publicity consultant of Bapat who manages the BJP leader's social media accounts, said he registered a case with police after he came across the account in which the objectionable posts and pictures were posted.
