Kanpur-based cartoonist Aseem Trivedi was remanded in police custody by the Bandra Holiday Court yesterday for allegedly posting seditious content on his website. Trivedi had come to Mumbai from Delhi after a police team landed up at his house in Kanpur, seeking his arrest via a non-bailable warrant. The BKC police arrested him on Saturday.

Trivedi’s website, cartoonsagainstcorruption.com, was taken offline by its hosting company Big Rock, after receiving a notice from Mumbai police. The cartoons though, can still be viewed at cartoonsagainstcorruption.blogspot.com.
