Jarir Ahmed Barbhuiya, a resident of Ratanpur in Cachar district, was arrested on the night of 26 April, the police added.
He had uploaded the cartoon on April 21 and one Rajesh Kumar Das had lodged an FIR against it at the Cachar police station, the police said.
Following the arrest, Cachar police, on their Facebook page, urged people to not upload or share online content which might cause disharmony among two persons or communities, failing which legal action would be taken against perpetrators.
