The Kuruppanpady police have registered four cases against police persons on four petitions lodged by as many Kerala Students Union (KSU) activists booked in connection with the protest staged against the Nava Kerala Sadas at Odakkali in Perumbavur Assembly Constituency on December 10.
After an evening of sustained tension, the police had arrested and registered a case against KSU State office bearer Basil Varghese and KSU activists Jibin Mathew, Jaiden Johnson and Devakumar T. after they hurled shoes at the Nava Kerala Sadas bus carrying the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues and a police escort vehicle.
However, the accused themselves had complained against police highhandedness on which the police had not immediately registered any case. Only two days later, on December 12, that too on being reprimanded by a magistrate court in Perumbavur where the accused were produced did the police register the four cases against as yet unidentified police persons.
