Right-wing commentator TG Mohandas was taken into custody from his home in Kochi on Sunday over remarks made in a YouTube video about a student protest in Delhi against the NEET paper leak. The Thiruvananthapuram Cyber Police registered a case after a complaint alleged the video could disturb public peace and create unrest. Mohandas allegedly said the protest 'could lead to gang rape' and that girls at the protest 'enjoy being raped'. He also said he would 'open fire' on protesters if he were in charge. Police have seized his digital equipment for investigation.
