Swamy condemns arrest of girls

"It is reckless disregard of the Constitution and the fundamental rights by Maharashtra administration to invoke the IPC section 505(2)," he said in a statement.

The section 505(2) deals with statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes.

"I demand that the criminal case be withdrawn and the Chief Minister offer his apologies to the young girl," Swamy said.
