Mr George was apprehended by officers from the Fort police station in the early hours of Sunday from his home in Erattupetta, Kottayam district, according to police.

Non-Muslims in Kerala should shun restaurants managed by the Muslim community, according to the former Congress member.

On Friday, he said that tea laced with โ€œdrops causing impotenceโ€ was offered at Muslim-run restaurants to make people โ€œinfertileโ€ in order to โ€œseize controlโ€ of the country, speaking at an event organized as part of the ongoing Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan in Thiruvananthapuram.

The 70-year-old legislator, who served in the state Assembly for 33 years representing the Poonjar constituency, had also asked non-Muslims to boycott Muslim-owned companies.

The ruling CPI(M) and the opposition Congress had condemned his remarks.
