Inspector Shantaram said that the suspect is still being questioned. DCP (Crime and Traffic) Dr Sanjeev M Patil, however, refused to confirm the development.

Please make correction. If makes lots of difference. NRI stands for non resident Indian.

Should not make fun of others......rather than discussing in a respected manner.....

Before making fun of others..see the mirror. The world is laughing at you pissfuls.

As a Muslim i oppose any insult to other religion person or GOD....ISLAM Teaches the same ....ALLAH is highest and almighty ....so if we Muslims insult other religion then they might insult the almighty ...so spare ourselves from insulting anyone

Actually he was not arrested ...instead he himself wanted to meet police and give clarification about the same

There are so many anti Muslim Facebook pages that not only makes mockery of Muslim Faith but also encourages violence against Muslims. Why aren't the police taking that as suo moto? I thought police protected interests of all people.
