A magistrate court here on Wednesday revoked the bail granted to Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) leader and former legislator P.C. George in a communally provocative hate speech case registered at Fort police station here in early May.
The Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Thiruvananthapuram, who rescinded the earlier order, said the police were free to arrest Mr. George. A police team is reportedly in Kochi to secure Mr. George's custody. The Kochi police had recorded Mr. George's arrest in a similar case.
The Fort police had booked Mr. George for allegedly inciting hate against a particular minority community at the Anandapuri Hindu Sammelan. The police case was that he had attempted to stoke communal discord by flagging divisive dog-whistle issues.
