Kerala police have arrested T.J. Joseph, a college professor for preparing a question paper that had inflammatory references to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be to him). Joseph, a Malayalam teacher at Thodupuzha New Man College had prepared a question paper with an objectionable reference to the Prophet, for the internal examination of second year B.Com Malayalam students. The teacher was on the run since last week after various Muslim groups protested in Thodupuzha. The environment remained tense after clashes broke out in the town and district authorities ordered a ban and also prohibited people not to assemble at any place in the vicinity. The police said Joseph was presented before the Kattapana magistrate, who remanded him in custody for 14 days.
