POLICE arrested Mahavishnu, a self-proclaimed motivational speaker, soon as he arrived at the Chennai international airport from Australia on Saturday. The speaker, founder of Paramporul Foundation, was arrested under the charges of provoking enmity between different groups of people and intentionally insulting a person with disability.
During a programme at the Saidapet government school on August 28, Mahavishnu made controversial remarks about past-life sins and disability.
He allegedly insulted a visually impaired teacher, who questioned the appropriateness of his speech. The video of the incident went viral on social media, sparking a huge outrage from rationalists and disability rights activists.
