Rahul Easwar Arrested for Cyber-Harassment in Kerala
Rahul Easwar, a political commentator, was arrested in Kerala along with four others for cyber-harassment.
They are accused of sharing a woman's personal photos and details online after she accused a Congress MLA of sexual assault.
The court decided to keep Easwar in jail for 14 days because the case is serious and needs more investigation.
Easwar says his arrest is unfair and compares it to a freedom struggle.
The police took his laptop and phone to find more evidence.
This is not the first time Easwar has been in legal trouble; an actress also complained about him earlier this year.
Rahul Easwar and four others were arrested for cyber-harassment of a sexual assault survivor.
The survivor had accused Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil of sexual assault and forced abortion.
Easwar and others allegedly shared the survivor's personal information and photos online, leading to harassment.
The court remanded Easwar to 14 days of judicial custody, citing serious allegations and the need for further investigation.
