The arrest has come after a short video of a boy sitting on the shoulder of a person during the PFI's "Save the Republic" rally on May 21 in Alappuzha and raising allegedly provocative slogans went viral on social media.
In the video, a boy is seen raising the slogan that "Hindus should keep rice for their last rites and Christians should keep incensed for their last rites. If your life decently, you can live in our land and if you don't live decently properly, we know Azadi (freedom). Live decently, decently, decently."
The words of hate from the boy have drawn widespread condemnation. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has sought the registration of an FIR over the matter.
