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.\"",
