Kochi | Wednesday | 28th November, 2018

Summary:

KOCHI: Activist Rehana Fathima was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly hurting religious sentiment with her social media posts. But, people who filed the police complaint claimed that her knee was seen in the picture and this hurt religious sentiments. “She had only posted a picture of hers wearing a devotee’s attire on social media. A team led by Pathanamthitta CI arrested Rehana from BSNL’s Palarivattom office around 1pm. We don't understand how a woman’s photo showing her knee would be anti-religious in a country where naked saints are worshipped..
