Identified as Babuya Ghosh, the man shared the picture on his Facebook wall. Also, he made derogatory remarks about Mamata Banerjee.


A resident of Shoula village of Bengal's West Midnapore district, Ghosh is a district level BJP worker who has been seen with many BJP leaders including party state president Dilip Ghosh.


Babuya in his Facebook wall had written, "If a guy doesn't get married on time, he may get mad. But people of West Bengal are now understanding what happens when a girl doesn't get married on time". 


Following this, the locals lodged a complaint against Ghosh. His phone has also been seized.


Police are, meanwhile, looking to crack down on accounts who share derogatory pictures. 


Earlier, a Jadavpur University professor was arrested for sharing a cartoon mocking Mukul Roy, who was then with TMC. The arrest led to outrage and the professor was later released.
