Political Tensions Flare: Allegations of Police Misconduct and Political Motives in Perambra Protest

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. Parambil's revelations have sparked a debate over transparency and accountability within the police department.

Parambil further claimed that mishandling of tear gas by a senior police officer led to chaos during the protest. Despite allegations against Congress workers, Parambil insisted that there was a coordinated attack against his party, connected to the broader Sabarimala gold issue. The incident underscores the ongoing political strife impacting the state's governance.
