The District Congress Committee (DCC) has decided to approach the Kerala State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) seeking action against a few police officers in the city who allegedly misused the water cannons in some of the recent agitations, causing serious injuries to the protesters.
The details of one of the latest incidents in which DCC president K. Praveenkumar sustained grave injuries while he was leading a march to the Feroke police station will be submitted to the rights panel in two days.
Mr. Praveenkumar told The Hindu on Monday that he had solid reasons, including medical reports and video recordings, to prove that the water cannon was used in a very dangerous way against him during the protest. He alleged that one of the officers who controlled the water cannons at Feroke had an axe to grind with the Congress workers.
