DYFI activists assault case: Police begin probe against Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan on directive by court

The Ernakulam Central Police are conducting an inquiry based on a complaint filed against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The complaint alleges that the Chief Minister abetted a brutal attack on Youth Congress workers by Democratic Youth Federation of India activists. The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court directed the police to investigate whether there are sufficient grounds to proceed with the complaint. The Chief Minister’s representative clarified that the investigation does not automatically imply guilt, but is to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed. The police have been directed to submit a report to the court after the investigation is completed.
