The case was registered against Vendanti for "promoting enmity between various communities, committing acts prejudicial to maintaining communal harmony and making statement conducive to public mischief," police said.

The complainant said the 'fatwa', allegedly issued by Vedanti saying that a person who beheaded Karunanidhi for his anti-Ram remarks would be rewarded with gold, could affect communal harmony and disturb peace in Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, police arrested 16 DMK activists for the attacks on the offices of BJP and Hindu Munnani on Sunday.

All of them were remanded to 15 days judicial custody by a magistrate.
