Actor Kasturi sent to judicial custody till Nov 29

Hindustan Times  

Actor Kasturi, who was arrested by Chennai police in Hyderabad on Saturday for making derogatory comments about the Telugu speaking community in Tamil Nadu, was on Sunday remanded to judicial custody until November 29. Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district police filed an FIR against Kasturi, who identifies as a social activist and political commentator besides being an actor, for her speech on November 3 at a Brahmin’s meet. After hearing both sides, the court said that the petitioner’s speech which is now a permanent record on social media “can act like a ticking bomb, which will wait to burst at the appropriate point of time by creating violence as among the Tamil and Telugu speaking people.” Kasturi apologised after the video became viral and controversial. “The speech made by the petitioner clearly hovers around hate speech,” concluded Justice N Anand Venkatesh of the Madurai bench of the Madras high court.
