Youth Congress (YC) president Rahul Mamkootathil’s dawn arrest sans prior notice from his residence in Pathanamthitta has triggered Opposition protests across the State and drawn sharp criticism from the Congress leadership.
A police team had secured Mr. Mamkootathil’s custody in connection with the violence during the Youth Congress’s secretariat march on December 20.
Notably, Leader of the Opposition, V.D. Satheesan, is the prime accused in the rioting, unlawful assembly, obstruction of law and order officers and destruction of public property case.
