A magistrate court here remanded Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) leader and former legislator P. C. George in judicial custody for 14 days in the Ananthapuri Hindu Mahasammelan hate speech case. Subsequently, the police incarcerated him at the Thiruvananthapuram District Sub Jail, Poojappura.
The Fort police had arrested him early Thursday for allegedly airing communally inflammatory remarks at the meeting in mid-May.
Earlier, the court had revoked Mr. George's bail in the case after the magistrate found the ex-MLA had violated bail conditions by repeating the divisive theme at a public function at Vennala in Kochi days later.
