Activist Gets Bail Over ‘Girls Enjoy Rape’ Remark
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Mohandas, a former convenor of the BJP's Intellectual Cell in Kerala and ex-office-bearer of the RSS-linked Bharatiya Vichara Kendram, got bail on Wednesday after his arrest for saying "girls enjoy rape". Police took him into custody at his home following a complaint. NDTV reports that the remark sparked outrage and led to the arrest.
The Indian Opinion
This case tests the line between offensive speech and criminal incitement. Some see selective targeting of the right, others demand zero tolerance for misogyny in public discourse. Either way, the remark was vile. The court has granted bail, now watch if the trial proceeds swiftly or gets buried in delays. The test is not the slogan but the final verdict.
