Orissa cops muzzle writer; spark furor

Orissa cops have taken the term gag order to a new level altogether. A Leftist writer and the editor of Oriya literary magazine Nissan, Lenin Ray was quite literally stopped from speaking to the media by policemen who muzzled him as he was being produced in Bhubaneswar's district court. Lenin was arrested on charges of inciting communal hatred. His crime being his writings against Hindu groups on the attacks on Christians in Kandhmal.
