The Kunnamangalam police on Sunday interrogated National Institute of Technology-Calicut (NIT-C) professor Shaija Andavan as part of the ongoing investigation into a controversial Facebook comment by her which praised Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, on the death anniversary of the Father of the Nation.
The officers who reached the professor’s house at Chathamangalam also directed her to report at the station on February 13.
A case was registered against Ms. Andavan on February 3 under section 153 (Wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) of the Indian Penal Code. Her comment, “Proud of Godse for saving India,” led to widespread protests in the State.
