Right-wing activist Mohandas gets bail in case over ‘girls enjoy rape’ remark
The police action came after a video of Mohandas allegedly saying the Delhi students' protest "could lead to incidents of gang rape".
Thiruvananthapuram Additional Chief Judicial First Class Magistrate Court judge Mithun Gopi G S granted bail to right-wing commentator T G Mohandas on Monday in a case related to his controversial remarks about a student protest in Delhi. The arrest came after a YouTube video of Mohandas's alleged comments went viral. Mohandas was accused of claiming that the students' protest could lead to gang rape and that girls at the protest enjoyed the act.
He also predicted that some people would be killed or permanently injured, but the situation would be controlled within hours and bodies taken to hospitals. The complaint against Mohandas was based on the alleged intention to disturb public peace and create fear. The prosecution sought bail custody and apprehensions about his influence on witnesses and evidence tampering.
The defense argued that the charges were bailable and cited Mohandas's age and health condition. The court granted bail to Mohandas and directed him to appear before the investigating officer for three days, continue attending police meetings, and refrain from repeating a similar offense while on bail.
