Police said Mohandas was present when the investigation team reached his residence on Sunday evening. The police team collected information about his YouTube account and digital equipment allegedly used to create and upload the video.
Police sources said they would question Mohandas in detail as part of the investigation.
The police registered the case following a complaint against videos uploaded on Mohandas’ YouTube channel, ‘Pathrika’. The complaint alleged that the videos were intended to disturb public peace and create fear and unrest among the public.
In one of the videos, Mohandas allegedly said the Delhi students’ protest “could lead to incidents of gang rape”. He also allegedly claimed there would be no complaints because “those attending the protest like rape and there are girls who enjoy being raped”.
Mohandas also allegedly said that, if he were in charge, he would impose a curfew and order the protesters to disperse. He allegedly said that if they refused, he would “open fire”.
He further allegedly claimed that although some protesters would be killed or permanently injured, authorities could bring the situation under control within hours and shift the bodies to hospitals.
The case had earlier triggered strong public reaction over the alleged delay in initiating action against Mohandas despite the registration of a case.
