Known for his strong views in support of Hindutva, the legislator was sent to jail a few months ago after police invoked the Preventive Detention (PD) Act against him for his sacrilegious comments. Following an uproar over his alleged remarks on Prophet Mohammad and Islam, the BJP suspended him from the party in August last year. Later, the High Court granted him bail in November.
