Right-wing commentator TG Mohandas was detained by police 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.
Mohandas was taken into custody by cyber police over remarks he made in a controversial YouTube video. The comments were said to have aimed at causing public disturbance and fear. In the video, Mohandas commented on the Delhi protest and suggested it could lead to violence.
The detention came after criticism of the state government for not arresting him sooner. Police have not yet announced what charges he faces beyond the earlier ones linked to the video.
