Remark on ‘extremist links’ in remand report of arrested Congress leaders kicks up row
The Hindu
Police stated probe had to be held to ascertain whether accused had such connections
The Ernakulam Rural police have stirred up a hornets’ nest after a remark on “extremist links” in the remand report filed in a magistrate court in Aluva, in connection with the arrest of three local Congress leaders, was taken up by the party in a big way.
The Aluva East police had arrested Ameen Ashraf, Kerala Students’ Union Aluva Assembly constituency president, and Congress leaders Nejeeb and Anas in connection with protests held in Aluva town demanding the suspension of inspector C.L. Sudheer, who was named in the alleged suicide note of law student Mofiya Parveen. She was found dead at her house at Edayapuram last month.
Among the reasons cited for their custody in the remand report, the police said a probe had to be held to ascertain whether the accused had any extremist connections. This did not go down well with the Congress leadership as they held a slew of press conferences to register their strong protest.
