Outcry in Kerala: Police Association Condemns SFI Activists' Assault

The Kerala Police Association condemned the attack on a police officer by SFI activists, labeling it an affront to democratic values. Two cases were filed, with tensions escalating over inadequate actions against SFI members. Political leaders demand justice, criticizing state government responses to police assaults.

The Kerala Police Association has strongly condemned the recent attack on a police officer by SFI activists, calling the incident a 'shocking and an insult' to democratic values. The Association emphasized the need for a united stand against such acts intended to instigate chaos in society.

The altercation occurred after Civil Police Officer Midhun Roy was allegedly abused and assaulted by four SFI activists. The Association highlighted the disturbing trend of targeting police officials in retaliation for their duties, urging a thorough investigation and stringent action against the offenders.

Political figures like V D Satheesan questioned the state's handling of cases involving attacks on police personnel, pointing to concerns over inadequate legal measures against the aggressors. He criticized the government under Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for perceived leniency, drawing parallels to the concluding years of CPI(M) governance in West Bengal.
