Thrissur Pooram Controversy: Allegations Against IPS Officer Ignite Political Storm in Kerala

Recent allegations by LDF MLA P V Anvar against senior IPS officer M R Ajith Kumar have reignited the Thrissur Pooram controversy in Kerala. Anvar accused Ajith Kumar of police excesses during the festival, among other serious allegations, leading to calls for the release of an investigation report and triggering a political storm.

Recent allegations by LDF MLA P V Anvar against senior IPS officer M R Ajith Kumar have once again highlighted the Thrissur Pooram controversy in Kerala. Anvar alleged that Kumar was responsible for police interventions during the festival, which sparked considerable controversy earlier this year.

Anvar's accusations prompted CPI leaders and other political figures to demand the release of the investigation report on the alleged police excesses during Pooram. They insisted that the people of Thrissur deserve to know the truth behind the disruptions. CPI leader V S Sunil Kumar emphasized the importance of exposing the masterminds behind any conspiracy to undermine the annual spectacle.

As the accusations continued to fly, the Kerala government announced a probe into the matter. Opposition leaders, including Congress and BJP representatives, criticized the LDF government, raising questions about political motives and possible collusion that led to the disruptions during the iconic festival.
