BJP, Congress protest against police’s handling of ADM’s death case in Kannur

Police blocked a protest march by BJP workers in Kannur demanding action against a former district panchayat president accused in the death of an Additional District Magistrate. The protesters were met with water cannons and accused the police of using excessive force. Prominent BJP leaders were briefly detained. The Congress also staged a protest, questioning police neutrality in the case. Both parties called for a transparent investigation and vowed to continue their agitation until their demands were met. The protests reflect growing public pressure against alleged political favoritism in the case.
