Controversial film critic Kathi Mahesh was arrested by the cybercrime police of Hyderabad upon allegations of making making objectionable comments against Hindu deity Lord Rama on the social media.
The police booked a criminal case against Mahesh under section 153 (A) of the IPC.
He was later taken to the Osmania General Hospital for a medical check-up, and then produced before a magistrate at the Nampally criminal courts.
The magistrate remanded Mahesh to 14 days of judicial custody.
Mahesh was earlier externed from the city for six months following similar comments against the same Hindu god.
He was also in the news for making derogatory remarks against actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan.
