A court in this district remanded BJP leader PC George to judicial custody on Monday in a hate speech case after sending him to police custody until 6 pm the same day.

The Erattupetta Munsif Magistrate Court rejected PC George's bail application earlier in the day.

Senior police officials questioned Mr George before he was sent to jail, police sources said.

Mr George, a former MLA, surrendered before the Erattupetta Munsif Magistrate Court around 11.05 am. The case was taken up for consideration at 12.30 pm, followed by arguments from both sides.

After hearing the submissions, the court adjourned the case for further consideration at 2 pm.
