The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is looking into the alleged security breach in which the son of CPI(M) Kozhikode district secretary P. Mohanan drove his car into the convoy of Goa Governor P.S. Sreedharan Pillai in Kozhikode on Sunday evening.
Raj Bhavan in Goa has also sought a detailed report on the incident from the Kozhikode City police. Several law enforcement agencies have also reported the alleged lapse in police security, sources said.
Julius Nikithas, son of Mr. Mohanan, and former party legislator K.K. Lathika, was apprehended by the police after he allegedly caused obstacles in the Governor’s convoy. He was taken to the Kasaba police station and questioned. He was later let off after being levied a fine of ₹1,000 for traffic rule violation.
