2 Police officials who termed 3 Congress Youth Members as ‘Terrorists’ for protesting against the suicide of 21-yr-old college student Mobia Parveen, in front of the district SP office, have been suspended. Sources have revealed that Sub-Inspector R Vinoth and Grade SI Rajesh have been suspended.
The move comes after Aluva MLA Anwar Sadat lodged a complaint with Kerala CM Pinrayi Vijayan. The Chief Minister forwarded the complaint to the Chief of State Police and later directed the Ernakulam Rural Police to conduct an inquiry into the matter.
The Special Unit of the Rural Police conducted Preliminary investigations and submitted a report to the Rural SP. Based on the report, the two police officials faced departmental level disciplinary action. The Munambam DSP has been directed to conduct further investigations related to this case and file a report within two months. A report has also been sought from Aluva East SHO Saiju K Paul regarding the misconduct of Police officers.
Youth Congress members, Al Amin Ashraf, M.A.K. Najeeb and Anas Pallikuzhi, who were arrested on Friday, have been charged with having terrorist links, according to a remand report submitted by the Aluva East Police Court.
