“Though he initially denied, he later confessed to the crime. He says that the post was uploaded by mistake as he was not quite familiar using a touchscreen phone with a small display. However, it is considered a serious offence here,“ the report quoted KMCC's Sidhiq Thuvvur as saying.
Another Malayalee and an Uttar Pradesh native in Saudi were recently handed two-month long imprisonments for similar charges, Sidhiq revealed.
