The Aurangabad police has filed a case against a city doctor for a social media post in which he called Tablighi Jamaat chief Maulana Saad a terrorist, Indian Express has reported.

The doctor in question who runs a clinic had posted a photo of Maulana Saad on Facebook with the message, “ Wanted, please inform your local police if you have any input about location of this terrorist”.

The doctor was as a result booked under Section 505 (b)(c) of the Indian Penal Code and detained by the cops.
