In Bangalore, hundreds of mediapersons staged a protest against the arrest of B V Seetaram, editor of a Mangalore-based newspaper. Journalists say Seetaram, who had faced physical attacks over the past couple of months for his writings against atrocities on church, is being kept under illegal detention. Seetaram has been arrested for an unrelated and two-year-old defamation case. Journalists believe his arrest and handcuffing was actually connected to his more recent writings.
