"Professor BP Mahesh Guru, who teaches at the Mysore University, was arrested on 17 June when he appeared before a Mysore court in connection with a case registered against him for allegedly insulting the Hindu god at a conference in January 2015," reported the Hindustan Times.
Guru had allegedly said in January 2015 at a conference that Hindu god Lord Rama was "unfair" to his wife Sita.
A local fringe religious group filed a criminal case against him, and he was arrested on 17 June 2016 and refused bail by a Mysore court, according to the Indian Express.
