[icernet] Indian journalist on terror charge

[Arul Selvan]

  Police in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu have filed charges 
against a journalist under a controversial anti-terrorism law. RR Gopal 
is the first journalist in India to be detained under the Prevention of 
Terrorism Act (Pota) since it was brought in last year. He was arrested 
last Friday in connection with the killing of a police informer, 
allegedly by the bandit Veerappan. Mr Gopal became well known after he 
recorded a video-interview with Veerappan - India's most wanted outlaw - 
in 1996.
