TIRUNELVELI: Tirunelveli city police arrested Hindu Munnani state secretary K Kutralanathan here on Sunday for allegedly spreading false information on social media claiming that doctors at Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital (TvMCH) intentionally inserted a copper-T contraceptive device on a Hindu woman without consent after childbirth. He alleged that it was an effort to curb Hindu population.
