Political tensions have escalated as Congress MP Shafi Parambil accused a police officer of assault during a protest in Perambra. The officer, previously dismissed and reinstated, allegedly attacked Parambil with political motives purportedly linking him to the ruling party's influence in the police force.

Addressing a press conference, Parambil presented videos and photographs to substantiate his claims. He criticized the government's decision to reinstate officers with unethical pasts, hinting at a deep-seated political agenda.
