Mangaluru, Sept 12: Ashraf M Salethur, who was recently arrested over a Facebook post, has submitted a memorandum to Minister UT Khader seeking the latter’s help in getting him justice.
On social networking site Facebook, Ashraf had responded to a superstitious post regarding Kerala flood.
He said in the memorandum that though the post was not illegal, the police had taken action against him. They had filed a sue motto complaint and registered a criminal case under section 153, 505, and 507. The police then threatened not to tell the truth in the court.
"I have faced injustice. I was supposed to become a teacher in the future but unfairly became a criminal. I'm now mentally tired, and my prospect is dull. Intervene in my case and provide me justice," he said in a petition.

Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
