The Kerala police have registered two separate cases against Hindu Aikya Vedi Kerala state president KP Sasikala. This comes two days after the right-wing leader’s controversial speech on the murder of slain journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh.

The Paravur police station booked Sasikala Teacher, as she is popularly known, under IPC section 153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony). This was based on a complaint filed by Congress MLA VD Satheesan for her speech on Saturday.
