THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The police have come forward demanding the cancellation of the bail of P C George, who had recently made a hate speech. An appeal seeking the cancellation of his bail will be submitted on Tuesday at the Thiruvananthapuram district sessions court.

The police had arrested George from his residence and was produced before Vanchiyoor judicial first class magistrate Asha Koshi, at her official residence. P C George was granted bail on conditions.
