Mitra was arrested on September 20 but was granted bail by a Delhi court. He was asked to furnish a surety of Rs 1 lakh and told to join the probe in Bhub-aneswar by September 28.

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to grant bail to Delhi-based defence analyst Abhijit Iyer-Mitra who found himself in a soup over his allegedly objectionable remarks about Odisha’s Konark Sun Temple.

Rejecting his plea, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi said it had seen his comments and added that they “incite religious feelings”. “How are you entitled to bail?” the bench said.

Mitra’s counsel told the bench, which also comprised Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph, that his client’s life will be in danger if he goes back to Odisha to face the probe as even some legislators were against him.

Journalist Abhijit Iyer-Mitra arrested for ‘derogatory remarks’ on Konark temple, released on bail

A CASE WAS LODGED FOLLOWING ABHIJIT IYER-MITRA’S TWEETS ON SEPTEMBER 16 MOCKING THE EROTIC SCULPTURES OF THE 13TH CENTURY SUN TEMPLE AT KONARK AS WELL AS ANOTHER DISPARAGING POST ON THE 12TH CENTURY JAGANNATH TEMPLE.

Days after his allegedly derogatory tweets on the Sun and the Jagannath temples created a storm in Odisha Assembly and outside, the Odisha police arrested political commentator Abhijit Iyer-Mitra from Delhi on Thursday.

However, Manish Khurana, chief metropolitan magistrate of Delhi’s Saket court, granted Iyer-Mitra bail on a bond of Rs 1 lakh, directing him to join investigation in Konark police station by September 28.

A Odisha police team from Konark arrived at Delhi’s Nizamuddin police station this morning with an arrest warrant against Iyer-Mitra, a friend of former Biju Janata Dal MP Baijayant Panda, accusing him of deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings, using words, deliberately intended to wound the religious feelings of any person, promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion under the Indian Penal Code and under section 66 of Information Technology Act.

The case were lodged following his tweets on September 16 mocking the erotic sculptures of the 13th century Sun temple at Konark as well as another disparaging post on the 12th century Jagannath temple, which is one of the four major Hindu pilgrimage sites. Panda has been accused of the same offences, while another case under the same charges lodged against Iyer-Mitra at Bhubaneswar’s Sahid Nagar police station, sources said.
