The youth, Junaid Mev, who hails from Talen in Rajgarh, was slapped not just with IT Act but also booked for sedition. The youth's family says that a group admin had posted a comment and when it led to objections, he exited the group.

The post was allegedly by one Irfan. One of the admins, Raja Gurjar, left the group. The next default admins also quit the group soon. Then, Junaid became the admin by default, and as a result he was held responsible and booked.

The family members say that they made a complaint on CM helpline and even tried to meet police officials but to no avail. They rue that not only the youth's career is in jeopardy, he has been in jail for months now, without bail. The police officials say that the family's complaint would be examined and it will be verified.
