The Crime Branch, probing the pandemonium and destruction of public property on Budget presentation day during the previous Oommen Chandy government on March 13, 2015 has filed a further investigation report in the court.
The report purportedly mentions that the agency has sought the permission of the State Police Chief to investigate two former United Democratic Front legislators on a rather belated complaint that they had assaulted women Left Democratic Front legislators, then in the Opposition, during the ruckus.
The case has provenance in the LDF’s political decision to prevent the then Finance Minister K. M. Mani from presenting the Budget.
