In a recent incident in Mumbai, India 2 girls were send to jail for writing against the Shiv Sena party founder Bal Thackeray.
They were punished with 14 days of jail by a local court
However they were granted bail by paying RS. 15000 each
Reports say that one of the girls, 21-year-old Shaheen Dhada, had posted on her Facebook wall: 'People like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a bandh for that. We should remember Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev, two martyrs of India's independence struggle.'
And surprisingly a friend of hers, Renu, who liked her post was also arrested.
