A civil police officer attached to the Kalady police station has been suspended pending departmental inquiry on the charge of his alleged links to the banned Popular Front of India (PFI).
The suspended officer is Siyad C.A. An inquiry has been ordered into the incident under Rule 6 of the Kerala Police Departmental Inquiries, Punishment and Appeal (KPDIPA) Rules. The Puthencruz Deputy Superintendent of Police has been entrusted with the probe and asked to submit a report within 14 days.
A preliminary report submitted by the Pothanikkad Station House Officer said the accused had allegedly reached out to those in general duty and other officers over the phone in favour of the PFI activists who were arrested and booked by the Perumbavoor police on the charge of damaging a KSRTC bus during a hartal called by the organisation last month.
