Court Grants Conditional Bail to TG Mohandas Over Hate Speech Remarks
Hate speech targeting protesters and procedural lapses in investigation raise serious concerns.
A local court granted conditional bail to TG Mohandas, a right-wing activist and former BJP Intellectual Cell member, on Monday after he was arrested by the Ernakulam Cyber Police for hate speech remarks targeting Delhi student protesters. The prosecution opposed bail citing risks of evidence tampering and witness influence but the court granted it due to procedural lapses in the investigation and considering Mohandas's age and health condition. He must appear before the investigating officer for questioning over three consecutive days starting tomorrow.
