A spiritual orator's controversial statement at a government school in Chennai that disabilities and deformities are the result of misdeeds committed in past lives has sparked a controversy and led to him being arrested by the police.
'Maha Vishnu', the founder of NGO Paramporul Foundation, had made the comment at a government school, where he was invited to deliver a motivational speech recently. A video NDTV couldn't verify independently also shows him arguing with a specially abled teacher who objected to his remark on disabilities.
