The Kerala Police on Tuesday booked BJP national secretary and spokesperson Anil K. Antony for sharing a post on a social media platform in which he allegedly commented on an incident involving burqa-clad women.
Mr. Antony has been booked under Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on a complaint filed by M.T. Siddharthan with the District Police Chief. Section 153A deals with the non-bailable offence of promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth or residence.
Another person, Anandi Nair, was also booked in the case.
