RSS commentator Mohandas held over NEET protest remarks

RSS commentator Mohandas held over NEET protest remarks

A man named T G Mohandas, who makes political videos online and is connected to a group called the RSS, was picked up by police on Sunday.

He had talked on YouTube about students protesting in Delhi because their medical exam papers were leaked.

In his videos, he said scary things, like police should be pulled back and that 'rapes and murders will happen.'

He also said that if he were in charge, he would order protesters to leave and then start firing at them.

The police said these words could scare people and disturb peace, so they took him from his home in Kochi.

First he had a medical check-up, and then he was taken to the city of Thiruvananthapuram for questioning.

Some people from the BJP party said the police were being unfair and that the case was just to distract from other problems, like flood relief.

Others, like Congress leader K C Venugopal, said the police were right and that no one is above the law.

Police said Mohandas would be questioned in detail as part of the investigation.
