TG Mohandas detained over remarks on Delhi protestors
Right-wing commentator TG Mohandas was taken into police custody from his residence in Kochi on Sunday, days after being charged for making provocative comments in a video about the CJP-led protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, an officer said
Thiruvananthapuram police detained right-wing commentator TG Mohandas on Sunday, following his charges for making provocative remarks about protesters in Delhi. The police apprehended Mohandas from his residence in Kochi's Mattancherry. Shortly after his arrest, Mohandas underwent a medical evaluation at a local hospital. He is expected to be formally arrested and brought before a magistrate in Thiruvananthapuram by Monday night.
This detention follows his booking under various sections of the penal code, IT Act, and Kerala Police Act for his comments on the protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Mohandas sparked controversy with a 30-minute video in which he suggested curbing protests with a curfew and opening fire on demonstrators. The video also included a disparaging comment about women protesting as "secular women who participate in such protests enjoy being gangraped."
