Thiruvananthapuram: Abin Kodankara, a local Congress leader and native of Neyyattinkara, has been arrested again in a case of abuse through social media. This time, he was arrested by the Sreekrishnapuram police in Palakkad district on Monday.

Abin was taken into custody from Thiruvananthapuram and taken to Palakkad by the Sreekrishnapuram police. He is accused of morphing the pictures of a female leader and circulating an obscene video. The abusive posts were circulated through the Facebook ID "Kottayam Kunjachan."

Abin was previously arrested on Friday in a similar case of cyber abuse against the wives of political leaders. He was granted bail in that case, but was rearrested on Monday.

His profile on social media shows pictures with many Congress leaders. However, none of the Congress leaders have responded to the complaints against him. A lawyer who usually appears for Congress workers appeared in court on his behalf yesterday.
