BBC: A woman has been arrested in the southern state of Tamil Nadu for calling India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) “fascist”.
Sofia Lois made the remark when she saw BJP politician Tamilisai Soundararajan, who then filed a police complaint.
The incident occurred on Monday at an airport in the state and a video of the two women arguing soon went viral.
Ms Lois was released on bail on Tuesday.
Her lawyer told BBC Tamil that she was asked to apologise. When Ms Lois refused, Ms Soundararajan filed a complaint against her for causing hurt and inconvenience.
Ms Soundararajan told The Indian Express newspaper that she felt “threatened” by Ms Lois.
