Charges under IPC 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups) are slapped against him.
The accused, Riva Tholoor Philip, was arrested based on a complaint filed by the SDPI. Riva's post on FB claimed SDPI was behind the blasts in Kalamassery.
