Abstract

The article focuses on the arrest and hospitalization of Gautam Khattar, a right-wing speaker and YouTuber, by Goa Police for allegedly making derogatory remarks about St Francis Xavier, a 16th-century Jesuit missionary and patron saint of Goa. Following complaints and an FIR filed by a Congress leader, Khattar was charged under sections related to promoting enmity and hurting religious sentiments. While Khattar was initially evading arrest, his brother Madhav Khattar was detained for allegedly assisting in drafting the speech but was later granted bail. The case highlights tensions surrounding religious sensitivities in the region. [Extracted from the article]
