Gandhi was, in fact, referring to those who had vandalised his office in Wayanad constituency of Kerala and not to Udaipur killers.
The channel had later published an apology.
The Chhattisgarh Police had however arrived at his residence at 5.30 am yesterday to arrest him but the Uttar Pradesh Police came to his rescue and took him away after he tweeted the development tagging UP Police, NDTV reported.
He was charged for bailable offences and released by UP police, the report said.
