A case under non-bailable charges was registered on Thursday against Kerala BJP chief PS Sreedharan Pillai after he was caught on video telling party workers that last month’s agitation at the Sabrimala temple over the entry of women of all ages was “almost planned” by the saffron party.
Pillai has been booked under Section 505 1(b) of the Indian Penal Code, which refers to comments that can cause fear or alarm in the public and disturb peace, after a complaint was filed by a journalist for his inflammatory speech.
