Leaders of various political parties and youth organisations who spearheaded a protest in front of the Vadakara police station on Friday are closely following the case, giving moral support to the witnesses to explain the incidents before the investigation officers and to testify in the court.
Though the post-mortem report has reportedly indicated a cardiac arrest as the cause of death, the protesters allege that the reason for the cardiac arrest is police assault.
Though they are partly happy with the swift police action, a stronger department-level move based on the post-mortem report is what they look forward to. They also demand that the officers, if found responsible, should be terminated from service.
