Jammu and Kashmir's criminal investigation department (CID) late Monday evening registered a first information report (FIR) against a journalist for posting inflammatory content on his Facebook social networking account.
Sources in the state police department told IANS that the counter intelligence wing of the CID here registered the FIR against Ramesh Khazanche, a migrant Kashmiri Pandit scribe living in New Delhi, for posting inflammatory, defamatory and malicious content on his Facebook account.

Reports also said Khazanche was being picked up for interrogation by the sleuths of the state CID on Wednesday.
