Jilekha Bi of the school at Shivapura in Belagavi was arrested Saturday night after she posted a message on social media saying “Pakistan Ki Jay Ho”, they said.

She is the second person to be arrested in the state over similar comments on Thursday’s suicide bomb attack in Pulwama. A Kashmiri student studying in a city college was arrested Saturday for hailing the attacker in a social networking site.

The teacher, a native of Belagavi, was produced in a local court Sunday and remanded in judicial custody, police said.
