Kozhikode: Former Students Federation of India (SFI) leader K. Vidya, who is accused of forgery, was taken into custody from Meppayur on Wednesday after a two-week investigation into the incident. She was tracked by a police squad from Agali.
According to police sources, there were confirmed reports from the Special Branch squad about her location in Kozhikode district. The latest action was taken after verifying all the complaints against her and a number of related documents. A police team led by Agali station house officer K. Saleem was in Kasaragod to search her house last Saturday.
There were grave allegations against the police that the investigation was progressing at a slow pace for strange reasons. There were also a series of protests by the Congress accusing the Left Democratic Front-led State government of guarding the suspect.
