Kerala Police Arrest Right-Wing Commentator TG Mohandas Over NEET Protest Remarks
Right-wing commentator TG Mohandas was arrested by Kerala police over controversial remarks made in YouTube videos about student protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar concerning the NEET paper leak. Mohandas allegedly suggested imposing curfew and using force against protesters, including remarks about women 'enjoying rape.' The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) distanced itself from his statements. Following public outcry and complaints by student groups, police seized digital devices and registered cases under multiple laws. Mohandas was granted bail with conditions to cooperate with the investigation.
