Earlier, the youth wing of BJP 'Yuva Morcha' had filed a police complaint against the writer for allegedly insulting the national anthem in his book in Malayalam.
The incident comes after the arrest of 12 people earlier this month for not standing up when the national anthem was being played before the screening of a film at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Supreme Court ruled on November 30 that cinemas should play the national anthem before every screening, and that the audience should stand, drawing angry accusations of an assault on civil liberties.
