Punjar: Former MLA PC George has faced a setback after the Ernakulam Additional Sessions Court dismissed his plea seeking anticipatory bail in the hate speech case. Following this, a team of police led by Thrikkakara ACP reached George’s residence at Erattupetta. Hours before the arrival of the police, PC George has moved to another place as observing chances of arrest.
The police confirmed that he is not at home after inspecting the house.
It is reported that PC George has moved to Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday morning. Police have been camping at his residence.
Palarivattom police booked the former MLA over his objectionable remarks against Muslim community during a speech, which he delivered in connection with a temple festival at Vennala here on May 8.
The case was registered under IPC 153 (promoting enmity between different groups) and 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs).
