Kerala Police’s cyber crime wing has registered a case against Indian right wing political commentator TG Mohandas after he allegedly said in a YouTube video that the Delhi students’ protest over NEET paper leaks “could lead to incidents of gang rape” and that claiming there would be no complaints because “those attending the protest like rape and there are girls who enjoy being raped.”
According to the FIR (First Information Report) registered by the Thiruvananthapuram Cyber Police, the case was filed after a complaint alleging that videos uploaded on Mohandas’ YouTube channel, “Pathrika”, were intended to disturb public peace and create fear and unrest.
The FIR invokes Sections 192 and 353(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, and Section 120(o) of the Kerala Police Act.
The case has been registered under provisions related to provocation with intent to cause a riot, publication of statements likely to create fear or alarm and disturb public tranquillity, specified computer-related offences under the Information Technology Act and provisions of the Kerala Police Act concerning public order.
He also allegedly said that if he were in charge, he would impose a curfew, order the protesters to disperse and if they refused, “open fire”, stressing that although some people would be killed or permanently injured, the situation would be brought under control within hours while the bodies are shifted to hospitals.
According to the FIR, the complaint was received by the Cyber Police via email on July 29 and entered in the station petition register before Crime No. 95/2026 was registered.
