Seetharam’s office had recently been vandalised and he had blamed the Sangh Parivar for the attack. The claim had been rejected by the police. “I understand they have been arrested on grounds of inciting communal disharmony. The courts should step in when the law is misused,” former judge of the Karnataka high court M F Saldanha said. “They are not terrorists or hardcore criminals to be denied bail.” Mangalore Additional SP Lokesh Kumar argued that the charges against Seetharam and his wife were cognizable and non-bailable.
