The State government has moved the court to cancel the bail of Kerala Janapaksham leader P.C. George, ex-MLA, in the politically explosive hate-speech case.
In a petition, the State told the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Thiruvananthapuram, that Mr. George had repeated the communal hate stoking insinuations for which the Fort police had arrested him last week.
Mr. George’s alleged incendiary imputations against a particular community had prompted the arrest. They had booked Mr. George on the charge of instilling communal discord to provoke rioting.
