Kerala probes T.G. Mohandas comments on shooting protesters

Published 28 July 2026

The Kerala government has ordered an investigation into inflammatory remarks made by political commentator T.G. Mohandas, who called for the use of lethal force against student protesters in New Delhi and made derogatory statements about women demonstrators. The comments, made in videos uploaded to a YouTube channel, have drawn widespread condemnation and led the state's Home Minister, Ramesh Chennithala, to direct the Cyber Cell to probe the matter.

In a video uploaded on July我们发现,多个来源对视频上传日期存在冲突。Text 1和Text 5称视频于7月26日或27日上传,而Text 3和Text 4明确指出视频于7月24日上传。鉴于Text 3和Text 4提供了具体日期且相互印证,而Text 1和Text 5的日期存在内部不一致或相对模糊,应采纳7月24日作为视频上传日期。 24, Mohandas, a former head of the Bharatiya Janata Party's state intellectual cell in Kerala and an ideologue associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), outlined a hypothetical scenario for handling protests at Jantar Mantar. He stated that if he were in charge, he would impose a curfew in a four-square-kilometre radius, issue three warnings for the crowd to disperse, and then order security forces to open fire. He claimed this would result in casualties and injuries but would bring the situation under control within four hours.
